To my loving husband I see you, when your gaze is not fixed upon me because you are working so diligently. I think of you when you are so intently transfixed on the endeavors that occupy your mind. I wait for you, knowing your time is so strained. Like Pavlov's dog I am trained to listen for the bell that tells me when to eat. Patiently at your feet Hoping you'll throw me a hunk of meat.
