From the other side

Many of us have posted how much we appreciate our partners and the support given to us. This I hope echoes what they feel:

-FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Give me your shoulder to cry on

I want to take your pain

If only for a while

To experience your life

to understand

Your daily battles, your fears your aspirations.

In sickness and in health we promised

Little did we know the challenges ahead

Such easy words to say when all is well

So difficult to live.

Your dignity is compromised

I hate to see it so

I struggle with your acceptance of the way your life is now

Tis hard for those who care my dear

But care I do with pride

For you are the one I married love, until death do us divide.

    I've just read this to my husband who vigorously nodded his head and said "exactly!". Which is more than his usual disdain for poetry about personal issues. So in that sense high praise from him. Well versed as always Maggers 😀😀😀

      Hi Kaz, its my full day at work on a Saturday and I am absolutely shattered but happy to have tomorrow, and monday off.   Glad to hear the sun has got his hat on.  I have extremely photosensitive skin so have to wear factor 50+ at all times. How I long to have a suntan but it's not to be. Never mind I can enjoy the sun from the shade of the trees.
