All that long hot summer through
I shared a summer cold with you
that seemed to last forever.
Whether, sharing the same germs, dreams,
bacteria or whatever
it seemed to bind us so...very close together.
If this was love...it couldn't get no better.
And all my heart
could say
even to this day...is:
'Bless you...bless you...bless you.'
(This is one of those 'thank you for being my wife' poems.)
