He brings me tea, with just enough ice
\nAfter nearly forty years, this is quite nice.<\/p>\n
He sprays my feet, then covers my tootsies
\nAfter nearly forty years, we still play footsies.<\/p>\n
He covers me at night, temperature appropriately set
\nAfter nearly forty years, he does this before bed.<\/p>\n
He plants me gardens, sunflowers for my pleasure
\nAfter nearly forty years, he knows what I treasure.<\/p>\n
He lets me cook, scrambling his eggs fluffy and nice
\nAfter nearly forty years, I sometimes have to do it twice.<\/p>\n
He carries the groceries, we buy them together now
\nAfter nearly forty years, I have to teach him how.<\/p>\n
He mows the yard, keeps the porch swept
\nAfter nearly forty years, I am a woman kept!<\/p>\n
He loves me, I still don\u2019t know why or how
\nAfter nearly forty years, he still keeps his vow.<\/p>\n
He is mine, and I am his
\nAfter nearly forty years, this is how it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
