We Get into Bed at Night

We both have physical jobs
By 11 or 11:30 we're spent
She gives our 15 year old puppy her meds
I watch her amazed by her humor and gentleness

We'll be married 26 years tomorrow
A lot of laughs and love
I always say the same thing about sleep
We're like cellphones needing to recharge

Sometimes we get close
Body on body, side by side
Old marrieds, touching, romancing, grateful
In the morning, coffee and conversation, then out the door
