Still the One

You guard my secrets, you kiss my scars I'm a better me because of who you are Ten seasons already; ten springs, ten falls Yet it feels like no time has passed at all We do have our conflicts over bills and chores You still haven't fixed the squeaky drawer! There have been days of shouting and nights of silence But we have learned to forgive to bring balance Just an ordinary life, as simple as it seems Through it all, you are still the man of my dreams-

Nice tribute to your lucky husband, Michelle. I especially like "You kiss my scars." Nice poesy there. ~ Gershon

This is a very sweet poem to your other half. Very well done. Judy and I have been married 18 years and it seems like maybe 2 or 3. Time flies too fast! Well penned!!!....Pat

Well his way to show affection is by a kind of silly teasig, but yes, I think the secret to long lasting love is to find someone who makes you laugh!
