Wife

 

I look at you all day

in an endearing way

inching your body

smeared in gray

I present a calm demeanor

and a pleasing smile

when you cut and lay the tile

in the boiling sun

When you are toiling so

that's all the pleasure

I can give you, when

my part of work is done

Remember dear...

I am always by your side 

Forever, 

in all your stride

For, you are my keeper

and the mason

For, I am the helper

and your devout wife
