Purr

you complement me on my hair
when I know it is a mess
you say my shirt looks sexy
and it's torn with paint stains on it
you tell me that dinner was really great
when the steak was really tough
I think you see through rose colored glasses
and I thank you very much

you tell me that I purr at night
when it's actually snoring
you say you don't mind when I toss and turn
when I know it's probably annoying
I lay awake and watch you sleep
and say a silent prayer of thanks 
with your arm around me tight
loving that I'm there
