"because - she is her"



i love her because
  she is frail
yet,
    mighty like a
mooring against
  a hurricane's wind.

i love her because
  she can finish
my unspoken
sentences with an
exclamation point
  at the end.

i love her because
  she is beautiful
yet,
   never acts as if
she were.

i love her because
  she's a simple woman so faithful, honest
   and pure.

i love her because
   after church,
she's
  my sauce on
    an afternoon autumn's sunday.

i love her because
  she's
the one that i want
  by my side
as the sun begins to fade.

i love her because
  heh...
    they don't make
many of her.

  i love her because....
i am her drink,
  and she is -

the straw that stirs.
