My Hero

He sometimes persuades me
There is a better way
To handle things
But in a dedicated way, not mean.

Always takes my side
Even against his mother
Used to be a mama’s boy
Now is my man.

Sometimes gently gives me hints
Maybe I could do better
Always right too
Saving me from my impulsiveness

Always has my back.
Against the world
Would stand in front of a tsunami for me
Is my hero

Is my dedicated man.
My husband.
The father of my babies
I would trade him for no one.

It helps that we were best friends from age 15 on. It helps a LOT! This is 53 years of friendship!

He would do anything for me. Announced he would marry me at 7. I was so angry! I wanted to marry my Daddy. I was six.
