Thank You, Dear (Hungrypan74- Thank you for your inspiration)

 *It helps our relationship with our wives
first because we do not make sure we are
taken care of no, her first
And then our children and our neighbors
and everyone that we meet*        
           Hungrypan74    "He Can Bring us out of ourselves."   *

This is what you do for us
For me (What's written up above)
I’ve tried to tell you
Over and over

You ask me why I love you
I stutter and stumble trying, but
I can never get those words just right
There's just too many reasons to list anyhow
But these words are the truth

I’ve called you many a name
I’ve slapped your face
Yelled and screamed
Nearly ran you over with our car

My moods change swiftly
Without any warning
The tears a rushing river
With the drop of a hat

I’ve lied and cheated
Pushed you away
Begged you to stay

Though I wonder so often
Is it loyalty to our God
That makes you stay?

I wish I had those loving words
Could get them from my heart
To my head
To my lips
To your ears

You work so hard, day and night
My domestic duties, you do those too
Read them stories
Play and laugh
Teach and love

You doubt so much
But I wish you knew
Just how lucky I know I am

I love you so much
And one day soon
It’ll be me that takes care of you


*I wasn't sure how to use a Quote, but I need to recognize Hungrpan74's stanza in one of his poems which helped me get these words I've been trying to get out for so long.  Thank you for the inspiration.*
