OPPOSITES IN LOVE

I admire your peaceful ways The way you smile the way you pray You admire my warrior spirit I smile a while just to hear this You are a morning bird so free You wake before sun all cheery I am a night owl and I stay up late Writing poems and songs to celebrate You like purring cats and I like furry dogs You are neat as a tack and I'm a bit of a hog You sleep light and I like brown log You by my side turns a princess from frog I'm an introvert with moments of flair You are a social butterfly with amazing hair Together we are good we laugh and we cry Our differences are like the pieces of a puzzle called life

wonderfully written, Karen. My hubby and I are 'opposites' in many ways...sometimes puzzling and aggravating...but at a soul level, we are one...

Do you ever look back and wonder how on Earth you ever got together… and thank your lucky stars that you did? It’s almost enough to make an atheist believe. A lovely write Karen. Terry

Amazing how People fit together, a complimentary tip of the hat to unique personalities in enzymatic activation by God. I like how you used "puzzle piece". Puzzles adjoin Puzzles are mysterious Puzzles take effort to get the big picture Puzzles always keep you thinking about finding compatibility and connection. Each person is different and as you stated, "I admire your peaceful ways The way you smile the way you pray You admire my warrior spirit I smile a while just to hear this..." Positive

Your concluding lines beautifully compare your differences to the pieces of a puzzle called life, suggesting that, together, you create a complete and fulfilling picture. Overall, the poem is a delightful exploration of the joys found in embracing and cherishing the uniqueness that each person brings to a relationship...
