My Man

There is this man that I do know
His mind is always on the go
Peter Duggan is his name
And writing poetry is his game

Nature is what he is about
Of this I really have no doubt
His mind is always full of words
From dusk til dawn his pen does work

This my friends is who he is
With each new day I'm truly blessed
So proud to say he is my man
Forever and ever until the end

So Peter, I don't say  it much
But your the man I love so much
You make me happy and fulfil my life
These words they come from me your wife

G'day Vera... a lovely tribute to Peter, Vera. Peter is certainly a prolific writer and might I add, I've read a few of his poems declaring love for his lovely wife also. Merry Christmas Vera - Lindsay

Thank you Lindsay, yes I agree, but then I would, wouldn't I, he is a good writer, in fact I get two lovely poems every morning so I thought it is about time I wrote something about him and that is what I came up with, glad you liked it. Take care and have a brilliant Aussie Christmas love to your family....Vera

Thank you so much Paul, yes I guess in this day and age 50 years is a milestone and we are so lucky to have found each other, mind you it hasn't all been smooth sailing as it is a long time for two people to live together, but once you get through those early years it is all smooth sailing, have a great Christmas and take care....Vera

Dear Vera Bravo love this poem of sheer affection, what a passionate write that is truly inspirational, your devotion to Peter stands out from a woman who stands by her man no matter what, great job and he is a wonderful man and write and so is his lady fair, my soul sister I'm trying to get better but it's hard to slow down, I'm use to doing things for myself, and even though I went back to work I know I have to learn to destress, and slow down, cheri

If we commented on every poem we read we would never get anything done at home, no housework would get done and no one would get fed LoL.
