From the 2010 Archives. I don’t often venture into poetry, but this was one of my favorites. Just for you, #tbt.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
She enjoys their days at home
She gets to enjoy a work out or writing or the things that bring her life
For he is quick to offer to put the babies to bed.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
Their dwelling increases in value
In the heat of the day, all summer long he paints and tends
Complaints never escape from his mouth.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
Their table fills to the brim with friends
So many love spending time with him
A generous host, he makes them feel at home.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
Her children cackle and shriek with laughter
He sings funny songs and tickles their tummies
Doubt of his love can find no room to grow in their hearts.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
Ice cream is never out of reach
He knows that simple pleasures make a rich life
And celebrating another day becomes reason enough to enjoy.
Blessed is she who has a husband like mine
A smile never leaves her face
Her days fill with moments that bring her heart peace
And she knows that she is truly blessed.
