Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

What Husbands Want Most of All

Say a kind word to your husband
  That's what he wants most of all
Not a gaggle of gifts for his birthday
  You don't have to buy out the mall

Compliment him on his appearance
  Or say that you appreciate his perseverance
Tell him it makes you happy he's so tidy and neat
  That in the house he puts slippers on his feet

Let him know that he's magic for your son
  That he's turned him into a real gentleman
Point out just how much his daughter loves him
  That she tells you only God is above him

So forget all the knick-knacks and accoutrements
  Hubby thrives on kind words and encouragement

Tom Cunningham June 27, 2020 at 4:42 PM Well said Gershon, a few words of appreciation and encouragement never goes amiss. Tom

Andrea Dietrich June 27, 2020 at 4:04 PM But what if you can't honestly say those things?? hahahaha (I might not really be kidding) I am nice to him anyway. Very cute poem.

M. L. Kiser June 27, 2020 at 12:57 PM Such a simple thing, a compliment. Well done.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 27, 2020 at 12:38 PM You are so right! My husband would much rather have a kind word or some attention than any gift. I read this to him just now, and he agrees 110 percent. Thanks for this reminder. Rhonda xx

Mystic Rose Rose June 27, 2020 at 11:17 AM I agree Gershon, what really matters is that we speak from the heart and give thanks, never taking for granted the love that is being offered, everything else is just fudge on the cake, Thank you for sharing. xo

Paghunda Zahid June 26, 2020 at 10:37 PM Hmm yeah, couple ought to appreciate and compliment each other. Sometimes even after seeing beauty or something special in a person, we remain silent, this is what create distance in a relationship. But don't always expect love and appreciation from your partner only, other one must behave in the same way... Two way traffic you know

Sandra Adams June 26, 2020 at 10:05 PM I think everyone loves to be complimented on things that matter... to be noticed for their good comings... good write my friend... hugs :)

Arturo Michael June 26, 2020 at 9:54 PM A merciful plea here... it's not easy to be a man without appreciation... Well done
