Better
Kinder than me, You are
Unaware of your own power.
Smarter Sweeter Faster, That too
Is You & You & You.
This plus more leads to, The opportunity
To hate a rival's unknown charm.
No solace for the self, This realization
I helped your heart prepare to hold that other love.
So much knowledge I have, but still
Want to know you Better (and Better).
Stronger than me, You are
Living life in another's arms.
Laughing Talking Loving. These are
Shining shreds for my memory.
But my chest never there, For you
To lean against watching a story unfold.
The smell of garlic given no chance, To glide
Across a shared room awakening your senses.
My hands don't get to create, A meal
Over which you and two boys smile.
Warmer than me, You are
Tuned closer to the inner worlds of others.
Decent Concerned Caring, That too
Is You & You & You.
Psychic strengths confounding things, At times
Creating questions where none really exist.
Pressure leads to pushback, A rare
Sense of anger in the intensity of words.
In the face of it still, This unquenched
Desire to know you Better (and Better still).
Sillier than me, You are
Blessed with a quick burst of laughter.
Goofy Funny Connected, Traits that
Generate smiles warmth and memories.
Humanity's breadth again captured, In you
Brought to life on a daily basis.
This unconscious part of you, Expressing an
Exultation in this life infectious in nature.
A smile whose dimensions of joy, Adds more
To mundane moments than others do to times of ecstasy.
Humbler than me, You are
Unwilling to grasp your exceptionality.
Achiever Engaged Dedicated, Also true
That its You & You & You.
Rejecting words professing these realities, Not apprehending
The metamorphosis from the girl once in that skin.
Now an uncommon woman, Wrestling with
Your emotional potency, intellectual strength and physical beauty.
All of which foment this Desire, Seeking chances
To delight in any opportunity to know you Better (even Better).
