Roses are red, violets are blue
sugar is sweet and addictive
and love is too.
it’s sunny Sunday driving,
an orgasmic late afternoon,
it’s endless frustration, but for
a life lived over the moon.
it is patience and silence when
harsh words come to mind,
its my favorite home-cooked meal when
the world has not been kind.
love is easy in the good times
but those don’t last forever
love is compromise and sacrifice,
choosing us over me in this ever
changing world
continuing to choose us
choosing not to get upset
choosing to trust.
love is knowing he’ll be there
him knowing i will too
knowing the kid will never question
love means i’m here for you.
