How do I love thee? Let me count the ways

You make me laugh through most of our days,
That is surely one of the best ways,

I love the way you appreciate small things in life
I am very lucky to be your wife,

I love the way you are positive about everything
To tide us through all that life may bring,

I love that you are such a special father
And the way you bring our family together,

I love the way you take care of us
It saves me from a lot of stress,

I love the way you organize our stuff
It certainly helps when the going gets tough,

I love the way you share things with me
Even though I may sometimes disagree,

I love the way you put up with my forgetfulness
You are surely my other half with your decisiveness,

I love that you help me with the grocery shopping
How you turn it into our family day is so adoring,

I love you for making my dreams come true
I think of that each time I sit on my piano stool,

My dear this is the 7th year of our marriage
I hope that we can be together as we age.

What are little girls made of? What are little girls made of? Sugar and Spice and everything nice! Thats what little girls are made of.

What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and Snails and puppy dog’s tails! Thats what little boys are made of.

Now for my version……….

What are women made of? What are women made of Diamonds and Deserts and everything delightful! Thats what women are made of.

What are men made of? What are men made of? Dragons and Daggers and Durian Odour! Thats what men are made of.

Women, do you agree with me? Hehe. The original rhyme uses “S” descriptive words. I used “D”. So can you think of any more “D” words to describe men and women?

I haven’t written a rhyme in a long time so that one is to cheer up my blue Monday morning. I have an achy body and a fiery throat this fine Monday morning. Bleargh!

I like to write a wedding anniversary post each year just to remind myself of the things we do on that day because I’ve a bad memory. If I don’t write it down, I forget. Lol! This year I write it down in the form of a poem.

This year on our wedding anniversary
It was a day like any other day
The kids whined till we were both weary
And the vacumn broke down to our dismay

This year on our wedding anniversary
I said dear lets go for a grand buffet
I like to get dressed with my accessories
And eat all my daily stresses away

You said “lets go to that place we used to go”
I said “great lets give it a try”
But then the manager told us to go
“Kids are not allowed” he said then he waved goodbye

So we went to that place across the road
And ordered some food that the kids would love
We ate and ate till we wanted to explode
I’m happy so long as I’m not at the stove

There was a sale so we said lets go shopping
We bought the kids some toys and a new vacumn cleaner
This new vacumn cleaner will save us from more mopping
And the toys will improve the kids demeanor

Happy Anniversary dear you said do you like your gift
I’m happy with small things around the house you said
Thank you dear I said with a sniff
Though I would have liked that pretty neckless instead

Thank you dear for still being with me and keeping your vows
Thank you for being such a family man and always being around
Thank you for taking care of me, the kids and the house
Thank you for supporting me when I am unhappy and down

I don’t need flowers, wine and expensive presents
When I have such a wonderful man all year round
We don’t need to celebrate only when there are events
I’m really glad that in you I have found

Someone to be with till I am old and grey
Whom I know will comfort me for the rest of my life
I hope that our love for each other will stay
On our 6th wedding anniversary and as long as I’m your wife
