On this lifelong journey,
We're a love in progress,
Thanks for this engaging process,
Of deeply and rewarding unfolding story.
My wife turns thirty-two today and she can pass for half that number. I'm unworthy of such a soul. Although she gets me all riled up many times, she's also that anchor that keeps me much grounded. Saves me from myself.
Many more years, Winkieboo.

Just a little would do,
No need to o'erdo,
I am no ******,
Love gently, easy on the hairdo.

But my wall of impenetrable hatred,
And anti love defenses,
Couldn't stand up to your thoroughbred,
Sweet, delicate and measured advances.

Hot love melted my heart,
Like a knife you ran through,
But you were never true,
Dressed in white, yet wore a black hat.

Uneasiness, tossing and turning,
Suddenly an outburst, howling,
It's midnight and the senses are struggling,
Thoughts fly all over the place, praying.
My two and a half years old daughter suddenly cries out for her sleep, thrashes around and begin these episodes of shivering, goosebumps all over her body, teeth chattering. She'd been fine all day long, although she'd cried a lot while plaiting her hair in the evening, but it's nothing that he mother and myself weren't familiar with. But tonight she scared the **** out of me; my wife, the cool-under-pressur onele, took her from me, wrapped her and held her close while I stumbled all over the place looking for whatnot.

It will be hours later that her condition made a favorable turn and she'd lay in my chest to sleep. THANKS.

Out of this life,
From this existence,
An a amazing wife,
Husband without pretence?

What exactly are we looking for,
Those things we constantly pray about,
That we never fall poor,
Or comfort doesn't kick us out?

Stop to look at the heavens,
And whatever's beneath them,
The vastness of the oceans,
Gold, silver, and every other gem,

For whatsoever a man sows,
That he reaps and not another,
Therefore settle all your vows,
And be at peace with your brother.
The Kingdom of GOD is at hand. SELAH.

Everyone wrote me off,
They said I wasn't tough,
Enough to make anything work,
They forgot I didn't need their luck.
