She Could Read His Mind
Her groom started to speak but bride interrupted him
Guessing what he wanted.
This happened often
Wife always got the last word
Trying to figure out what husband wanted
Before he could tell her
Reading his mind
Giving him her idea of what he wanted daily
Husband tried a few more times
But wife slapped him down, pooh-poohing his ideas.
She knew his mind better than he did.
She could meet his every need without words.
Years later, Wife was angry when Husband left
She had spent years trying to please him
She was totally sideswiped by his lack of compassion
Never realizing she should have listened at least once.
