A love in verse

Nothing Except What’s Good to Give

She sees me off to go shopping

Loving wife of older man

He’s fit though, he’s no also-ran

He strides out never stopping

Inspired by her so fond and waving

Thinks with each step: my life she’s saving


Without her I’d be long ago lost

She’s given me children, constant love,

A home, a place to be proud of,

Framed in her style. To me, the cost

Was nothing except what’s good to give

Love – an easy way to live


In my life of simple rapture

I spread my net - and what a capture!

End of August

You lay on the bed, your words kiss my ears

Behind me you speak, resting in the heat

In the afternoon. The words my heart hears...

Silence

It’s more quiet than I’ve ever known

No cat stirs, wasp or fly. 

At least for a while...
