I have always felt myself extremely blessed to
have found myself a wife
Who believes very little is needed to make a
happy life.
Before you think she doesn’t mean it, that it’s just
idle talk
She has it perched upon our kitchen counter…painted
on a rock.
After 25 years of marriage…a marriage not at all
routine
Let me take a minute to show you exactly what
she means.
It’s listening when the other person talks and
hearing what they say.
It’s a card to say I love you at the end of a
bad day.
It’s a little gift that’s given when there’s no
reason for a gift.
Just to say the words I love you or to give her
day a lift.
It’s a drive through the countryside with a
picnic in the back.
It’s making pancakes for dinner and sharing one
large stack.
It’s reaching something on the top shelf when
Deborah is unable
It’s the family gathered for a short time around
the kitchen table.
It’s sharing laughter, stories and joy with our
children and grandchildren too
And smiling in contentment when the evening is through.
It’s enjoying our family together and creating new
heirlooms
It’s holding hands, stealing a kiss or a smile
across a room.
It’s taking one grandchild and swooping them
away
For a sleepover and a dinner out as we celebrate
their day.
It’s the sharing of our deepest fears, our long
range hopes and wishes
It’s one person doing the cooking while the
other does the dishes
It’s a surprise call in the middle of the day
just to hear her voice
It’s being together when you are sorrowful or
when you both rejoice
It’s watching a romantic movie with a little
popcorn on the side
It’s remembering all the reasons you chose her
as your bride.
It’s watching the sunrise together and thinking
of the day you met
It’s lying in bed together after the evening sun
has set
It’s a walk under a starlit night or a stroll
along the shore
It’s simply living a life with another person you
adore.
Yes very little is needed to make a happy life
is not just idle talk
It’s the little things that mean the most and make
love solid as a rock.
