What Really Matters

With a simple hello
   and warm friendly smile,
She made him remember
   what's really worth while.
The stress and the worries
   of his busy day,
One moment with her
   and they faded away.

When later that night
   his prayers were all said,
He turned out the light
   then climbed into bed.
And laying beside her
   realizing again,
These were the reasons
  he'd married her then.
