You Complete Me
It would not be fun to paint six canvases a week
If you did not act amazed and astounded.
It would be a waste of my time to write six poems a day
If you stopped reading my work.
It is wonderful that you have taken over the laundry.
I never enjoyed it one whit.
Terrific that you know what I want for supper
And have it ready some days when I walk in the door.
It would be impossible to be me
If I did not have you
To impress, to smile with, to give me fierce approval.
You are my why.
Why I write.
Why I create.
Why I am not exhausted.
You complete me.
