His Sweet Gift




                  A sweet gesture of love from my gentle-man Star

                                  Along with the groceries,

                                     A big chocolate bar!
                
                     We're growing old, yet kindness embraces

                                    After all of these years

                            Though we've lines on our faces

                      He makes me forget that I'm not a young girl

                           When his sweet little gestures of love

                                         Spin my world

                    I wasn't beside him when he filled that cart

                           Nor seen the grand total that makes

                                         Accounts smart

                 Watching each penny, and where each dime went

                                 A few bags of groceries 

                                    A lot of cash spent

                        Yet I crossed his mind...a gift bought 

                                           for me

                            My dear Sweethearts love is

                                 As Sweet as can be!

               My gentle-man husband, to me, a rock star

                               Kind gestures of love 

                             Are the sweetest by far!

Something gifted with love has more worth than its cost! You are fortunate to have got such a person as partner in life who caters to even your small whims. So nice receiving your comment and reading your sweet poem, dear B.J
