It Inspires Me

My mind picks
apart certain things
that resonate
with specific rings...

I look at a couple
walking the sidewalk
staring into eyes
without a word of talk.
They gaze upon
the one they love
as peaceful as
two turtle doves.
It inspires me.

The skies are gorgeous,
so full of beauty,
so much so
they can lighten the moody.
They bless me with
ideas abounding
and thoughts of hope
and happiness surrounding.
It inspires me.

A mother talking,
a mother yelling,
she screams and screams
in the telling
but all the while
it's done out of love
and the care she has
that always rises above.
It inspires me.

I look around
just a bit more
for inspiration,
for something I can adore
when I step back
and see this gift
with which God has chosen
to bless me with.
I know I
can only choose
to put it to
the best of use
so that in doing so
I can put other's worries at ease
and, from Him, one day
hear it is me in whom He is well pleased.
THAT inspires me.

Their Mommy, My Wife

Here it is today,
a beautiful one in May,
one dedicated to you
and all the things you do.
The mother of their dreams
who always hears their screams,
one who is always there
and always the one to care,
you pick them up when they fall
and hear their every call.
Whatever is their need
is the appetite you feed
and whatever they decide to do,
they know support will come from you.
You are a better mother
now than any other
but also the best wife
I could have in this life.

You always love me
despite my insufficiencies.
Even when I tend to forget,
you always know my expectations and assure they are met.
Even when you think you disappoint me
I could never be unhappy in this covenant joined jointly.
Your love will never fall short
as I will never have a complaint to report.
You will always be the love of my life
and make me the proudest to call you my wife.
