Poem for her 174

Dear Readers,



Awesomeness

She asked me to write a word down the side of our diary
I wanted the word to be about her and put Awesome
Then wanted the word just a bit more powerful
Then she turned it into words about me
Thinking about the other while thinking about things
Her standing there in red and grey and smiling
Me showing her something I like to eat only to see
Her love it for all the same reasons, and like it even more
Savoring the touch of our hands in each others as we cook
Seeing the same things in the news we read and discuss it
Slowly learning our own dance steps, and sign language
Soft touches in the morning rain and long cuddles
Into the afternoon till dinner is the grilled cheese


Happy Birthday Babe,

Charles.
