Alexis Y. Poet Rhyme

I Couldnt Ask For More

My one and only, lived next door 
   our love story came from friendship,
    we were close and joined at the hip.


        Our union had a solid core
  so we valued what mattered most,
     and our relationship grew close.

    He wanted ten, I bore just four
  two healthy girls and healthy boys,
 the house was filled with lots of toys.

   They left, I ached like never before 
  I didn’t know who was at the time,
 my partner and friend was sublime

He caused me to see so much more 
  then I could bring him comfort too,
    we both were sad and so blue.

As time passed, came a cheerful shore
      we parented in brand new way,
      I just loved every Mother’s Day.

     My one and only, lived next door, 
         Our union had a solid core.
     He wanted ten, I bore just four
    They left, I ached like never before,
 As time passed, came a cheerful shore.

Gershon Wolf August 3, 2020 at 4:05 PM I like your reprise of your marriage, kids, and life, Alexis... Funny, I wanted ten kids too... Life (and wife) have a say though -- ha, ha --- and I too have four, each one with a blessing. Light and Joy, Gershon
