Marvin-- as usual, you strike just the right note--thank you for sharing
both the poem and a glimpse into a lovely relationship!
>Who Am I, Who Are We
>
>I cannot walk, she can.
>She forgets the bills, I don't.
>She is strong, I am physically weak.
>I prefer things orderly, she prefers chaos.
>When I panic, she is calm.
>When she cries, I can comfort.
>When I cry, she does not look away.
>When I wake up afraid, she offers a calming touch.
>I can let her sleep. I can let her make pots, bowls, and whistles.
>I can let her teach others and so pass on to others what I do not know.
>She needs me. I need her.
>Together we are more than two people.
>We are husband and wife, best friends, beauty and beast, a team,
>unconquerable.

>Marvin Giles

>I am a pessimist. Kristen says they will find a cure.
>I guess I'll have to hang around and find out. *Grin*
