You Mean More To Me Than Anyone - Mty

Who listens to me when I'm down
  Knows when my smile masks a frown

Who sticks with me through thick and thin
  No matter the trouble I find myself in

Who is a perpetual ray of sunshine, never complains
  Be winter's cold unbearable, preceding torrential rains

Who daily anticipates my every need
  Fulfilling my desires, in both word and deed

You, the light of my life, my angelic wife
  You whom I love here on Earth, and in the Afterlife

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/21/2019 6:54:00 AM I had to laugh that you find yourself "into trouble" - for I knew that is exactly right! Ha! Your wife sounds amazing, my friend. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/21/2019 11:43:00 AM Yup! … In trouble … my address: The Doghouse... And, yes, my wife is utterly amazing. The most amazing thing perhaps is that she married me. (Whatever was she thinking?!) … Best wishes, Gershon

Susan Ashley Date: 6/20/2019 10:37:00 PM Another one of your fascinating facets, my dear friend, your sentimental side shines radiantly in this beautiful poem, Gershon. A wondrous tribute to your lovely wife. Best wishes for a win and my warmest wishes to you.. ~Susan Login to Reply Susan Ashley Date: 6/21/2019 6:04:00 PM Lol.. ‘sedimental’! No, I was not surprised at all, my fascinating friend, I like seeing your many sides taking their turn to shine.. :) Gershon Wolf Date: 6/21/2019 11:40:00 AM Susan, your words are music to my ears, as always. And perhaps you were surprised that I can be sentimental at times, as usually I am 'sedimental.' ~ Old stick-in-the-mud in Chicago, gw

Kim Rodrigues Date: 6/20/2019 9:40:00 PM A lovely write, Gershon! Does your wife enjoy poetry? My husband almost never understands mine or doesn’t make an attempt. I joke with him, he only gets roses are red, violets are blue type poems :) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/20/2019 10:10:00 PM Kim, your comment has me howling. My wife is soooo uninterested in my efforts. I think she regards me as a curiosity from the Stone Age. Of course, she thinks Russian poetry is great. (She's from Ukraine)… One of my four kids, my youngest son, is occasionally moved by one of my poems. ~ The Rodney Dangerfield of Chicago poetry
