I feel this lovely lady close to me,
I hope its where she really wants to be'
I know I am her one and only man,
I'm a human - I'll be the best I can.
The house is really empty when she's out,
I miss the joy of having her about.
We share a gracious lot of peace and love,
Perhaps our home is blessed by him above.

Bob, I know you two are blessed from above for sure. This is a wonderful poem that will really delight Elisabeth no end. It was beautifully worded with so much love and tenderness portrayed in every verse. I love how you say the house is really empty when she isn't there. I know that feeling. That verse where you say 'I'm only human - I'll do the best i can' That was lovely. A top piece.

I'm one of the old timers who find it difficult to say in words what I feel. That's how this poem came about. Your comments are always supportive and encouraging, I appreciate that no end.

Wonderful
Dear Bob...six lines straight from the heart...the usage of my partner denotes that this is a partnership...there is balance...equality...the first line " I know I am her one and only man" denotes the faith and trust within this bond...that is a beautiful thing to behold...the completeness when we fully give of ourselves and they to us and there is only trust..."I'm am a human -I'll be the best I can" ( small typo am/a ) ...this line makes no promise to be more than any other mortal...yes to be mortal is to make mistakes but here you promise that your premise is to be the best possible you...who could ask for more and who could be more than the best they could be...excellent...."I hope its where she really wants to be" Sweetly showing that the yearning re her concerns are true to your heart...you don't want to possess her but to know she is truly happy...what nicer thing could we wish for the love of our life except that we are true to them and make them happy and they feel exactly the same...." The house is really empty when she's out" Wonderful at expressing how close the connection is that your house is a house without her in it but a home at home with you when she is in it....I loved the inclusion of "joy" "peace" love" and "blessed" they are all words which dance harmony...a pleasure to read and feel the sincerity...you bless each other with the bounty of that which you gift to each other...a love song that resonates with warm colours

Yvette, you have warmed my heart with your comments. My meanings expressed in the poem have come through and you are the first to actually say so in detail. I am content mostly to have my poems read;this one is different. It's very special to me as a writer and to Lis as my partner. I am thrilled that readers recognise its significance to us.
Many thanks again, dear friend. -

My pleasure Bob, it is heartwarming to read and when I read poems like this, so full to brimming with love that dances with honour, respect, tenderness it is like a time capsule, a cameo, to walk away with and just feel ahhhhh....

Everything is fine with us here. The weaather is warming uo for the coming summer, Lis and I are both well, the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks are all doing very nicely, the garden is quite a picture and the lawn grass needs mowing every week now.
I wondered where you were as you have been quiet on site for a while. I trust you had a great time when travelling and that all is well with you. Many thanks for your lovely comments and blessings. Mother Nature has blessed us witha wonderful spring season.
Cheers, best wishes and

This is lovely Bob, thank you
I feel a poem coming on, an Acrostic called Wetoori.
Shall you write it?
I could substitute 'gentle man' and I would be expressing how I feel about Bob
One day we're getting married, one day.*sigh*
I Love you Bob.
Lis

I owe you so much my love, so much. All I can say is; "I love you truly"

Bob this is just beautiful As one who has had two failed marriages (both due to domestic violence) I can totally relate to this write. My partner has also been married twice and both his ex wives took EVERYTHING.
We have been together for 5 and a half years now and haven't had our first arguement yet either. Although we've been through a trying time with his daughter who was placed with us for over 18 months after Child Protection removed her from her abusive Mother, we've remained strong Thanks for sharing this one Bob...beautiful indeed
-
-
Julie, Both Lis and I are what we call 'recycled'. We both finished with nothing after failed marriages and we have been together for nine years now. No arguments at all, no raised voices or anything. Its lovely. I wish you and yours all the good things that can be had in this world of ours.

Oh, so lovely to hear of couples surviving til "death do us part." Good on you and may there be many more joyous years to come. Great poem...alby

Hi Alby, thank you for your thoughts and comments. We are both what we call re-cycled and made disastrous choices first time round. We have meny differing opinions yet we manage to live together in quiet harmony all the time. Its absolutely lovely.
-

Bob
why do I get the feeling that you and your lady have achieved something that most in their entire lifetimes can not... Love, trust and undrstanding.. Good for you guys.
-
-
You hit it on the head in one, Bob; Love , trust and understanding coupled with consideration for each other. We are yet to have our first argument. There is an atmosphere of quiet tranquility around our place. Thank you my friend, for seeing our good fortune.

Aww, this is so cute and lovely. Sounds like true love to me! This was short, but beautifully written. I wish you two all the happiness in the world.
Take care

-
Thank you for your very kind and generous comments. Yes, it is true love, and its wonderful.
-
-
This is very good. Hang on to her mate, she sounds like a lovely person!
-
-
I will hang onto her, my friend. Without her encouragment and support there would be no poetry from me at all. She started me off again after a long long absence from writing and kept on encouraging me . She is truly a very lovely person. Thank you, I will take your advice and keep her around.
-
-
Aww how precious! I'm sure she really wants to be with you
Lovely write!
-
-
Although Lis has seen this poem, it was posted accidentally. I meant every word written as Lis has supported and encouraged me from day one. She is truly a wonderful person.
Thanks Jackie.

Thank you Leonura, my partner is my greatest fan and supports and encourages me in everything I do. It's truly wonderful.
