The Gentle Man

Sweet husband Your calloused hand tender Warm and reassuring On the small of my back Guides me into a room Before yourself

Your light shines in so many ways. You have as many poems as you have moods. This poem is a great dedication to a sincere husband. Because of you, your readers can believe in love for at least another day, maybe a lifetime. Well written.
