Special Assignment

So I am writing this poem for my mama Dane.
If I were my husband Ross this would be such a pain.
For her sake I will do my best.
I will put my writing skills to the test.
This isn't hard,
as I go through each line level.
This special assignment will be complete before I rest.
Once complete I will not have a pest.
"A penny saved is a penny earned", I like money.
You wouldn't believe that I live in Germany.
I pray I may stay dilligent in writting so I can say, "yay", when I'm done.
I'll keep out my puns.
God blessed the broken road that led me to my love, Ross.
He has blessed us both with such a fondness.
It is astonishing how unbelievably wonderful our wondrous love is.
It is not fun writting this,
But I shall be happy when my eyes can look back to games.
For my patience with this poem is quickly running on empty.
Very soon I shall leave this to have fun.
"As we near the end" I will end 20 lines from where I had begun.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Thank you, Priscilla, for accepting my challenge and writing for this contest. I know I promised to stop asking you to write poetry if you wrote for and entered this contest, which you have done. But you have talent, which needs to be shared. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Good luck in the contest. Love, Mama Dane
