You wonder how
\nshe keeps going about her day
\nwhen the world is crumbling
\nbut she just smiles and reaches across
\nto wipe the crumbs away
\nfrom the side of your mouth<\/p>\n
You wonder where
\nshe finds the abundant store
\nof resilience and positivity
\nfrom which she daily draws
\nwhilst your reservoir runs dry
\nscorched by a world that’s on fire<\/p>\n
You wonder why
\npersistently passionate
\nshe never forgets to kiss your cheek
\nor to straighten your tie;
\nwhy she rinses and recycles:
\ntote bags against a plastic tide<\/p>\n
You wonder what
\nit is that sparked the light
\nin her to life, for life
\nwhat makes her want to be
\nYour wife; what you’d do without her
\nin your life<\/p>\n
You wonder when
\nshe learned to embrace her strength
\nthat she should not be weakened by
\ncomparisons to the supposed accomplishments of men
\nwhen everything she overcomes
\nthey can hardly begin to comprehend<\/p>\n
