giving

occurred to me tonight,
as I reviewed all that is right
with the two of us
(no worries, all we have discussed),
that you are the first woman
to make me feel like a man
without a simultaneous
outstretched hand;

and that, baby,
is worth a whole lot,
maybe the whole shebang:

thank you, baby,
for giving far more
than you take.



August 31, 2009, for the Wifey, who has no comparison, save a rainbow, lit bright.
