All the things she doesn’t show
Those dozen things, would not expect
She takes my thoughts and yet foregoes
So I wouldn’t stoop and recollect
At times, the urge, pontificate
She tries to listen through her smiles
She checks her watch, deliberates
There are no answers, only trials
And then the funk, the doom and gloom
Silence, deep, and full of cries
Where have you gone, inside your room
She gives her best and wonders why
She understands me there’s no doubt
Cannot compare her knowledge base
Inside my skin I scream and shout
No tally kept, been all erased
Those eyes of blue with orange specks
Truth be told, cannot deceive
She likes me strong to stand erect
No time for doubts, but to believe
A list is placed, an plea ordained
Come now, at once, and do that now
Whatever lost is now regained
In sacrifice, the horse and plow
The soft remains in her restraint
She seldom buckles in my rant
Despite my drama, trite and quaint
Not a whisper, not a pant
She knows me better than I know
My trust is placed inside her heart
A better man, I see my glow
When she’s beside me, takes her part
What God has shown me, lasted years
This gift of love rolled up in her
With all my failings and my fears
Time went so fast, in such a blur
I owe it all, she asks for none
‘Twas God, she said, made her this way
In finding her, life had begun
This grace of love in true display
To God, give thanks, His gift divine
His mercy shown, did not deserve
The moments passing, out of time
She showed her love which I conserve
And all those things she does, respect
In sacrificial eyes I see
I never thought I could expect
That she could love a wretch like me
