in lieu of poetry

I have never been confident in my poetry writing, but I want to make not of all the wonderful things that I appreciate and that Bing does for me. I heard of a woman doing this her entire relationship all 50 years of it.








  • Offered a smoke off his cigarette when I didn't want a full one, yet I didn't say anything
  • Snuggled this morning even though he was dog tired
  • Woke me up in the middle of the night with kisses and playfulness and great satisfaction
  • Didn't complain or make a bad comment when I was running 5-10 minutes late to work
  • Made dinner for me even though he wasn't hungry
  • Found headache medicine when my work was too crazy and my head pounded
  • Emptied the dishwasher
  • Cuddled with my kitty when he rested for a nap
  • Gave me the most loving look across a crowded elevator when my day was stressful
  • Held my robe and helped wrap me up in it when we went for a night smoke
  • Held me close when he knew I needed to feel his arms, his strength, his security without a word between us
  • Loves to hear me laugh and tells me how beautiful he thinks the sound is
  • He lets me know he would never let harm be done to me and protects me fiercely with just a look across the room that warms my entire body
