A Heart-To-Heart Talk

"Why do you love me, Dear?" she cooed. "You're cuddly, cute, and sweet," he said. "Your mama's cat is too," she cried and made some distance in the bed. "Just teasing, Hon! I wasn't through," he reasoned with his peeved young wife. "I'd be a wretched, lonely man without you to complete my life." "Now, why do you love me?" he asked. Her answer: "You're so good and kind and very easy on the eyes. A man like you is quite a find." He smiled. "Such precious words, my love, but you've described our pastor too and other men we both could name. Why was it I you chose to woo?" "Your point is gently made," she said. "My HEART chose you, and yours chose me." Mere words will never be enough to tell what eyes of love can see.
