A Love Poem

         Here is a poem, slightly changed, that I wrote for an anniversary gift for my husband a few years ago.  

  My Love Song

Come stay with me

and hug a while;

your arms will only

make me smile.

My days are joyous

with yet one fear—

an empty life

without you near.

Enough of sadness

I’ll live life true;

savoring the minutes

I spend with you.
