The Extra Mile

She went the extra mile for me.
I loved her for the world to see.
She was all a woman could be,
And I miss her so much.

Anything I needed she’d do.
War had left me disabled too.
She’d enable me to renew,
Help With walking and such.

The extra mile came with her smile.
She made it all seem quite worthwhile.
I loved the way she went that mile.
She always was my crutch.

The Situation Date: 8/14/2023 6:57:00 PM Maternal love is all through this. Login to Reply Merv Hold Date: 8/30/2023 2:26:00 PM Umm, no, she is my wife, just the lady that I married when my luck was heading fair. What is it they say? If you gave me a fortune, my virtue would be small, If I dint have her to share it, I wouldnt want it at all.
