Barry's Poem

This poem was given to me by Bear "just because." I had to put it on here because it makes my heart melt.


I LOVE THE WAY YOU SMELL IN THE MORNING,
I LOVE THE KISSES TO MY EYES, THEY COME WITHOUT WARNING.

I NEED TO HAVE YOU NEAR ME EVEN WHEN I SLEEP,
I ALWAYS KNOW YOU'RE THERE WITHOUT EVEN A SOUND, NOT EVEN A PEEP.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU WATCH OUT FOR MY HEALTH,
I LIKE THE FACT YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR MY WEALTH.

I WORRY YOU DON'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME ON YOURSELF,
I WORRY THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF OTHERS, LIKE A "DO EVERYTHING" ELF.

I WONDER WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE IF WE HAD NOT MET,
I CAN GUARANTEE I WOULD BE A LOT POORER I BET.

I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE,
I AM GLAD YOU ARE HERE IN MY LIFE, WHAT A WONDERFUL RIDE.

I LOVE THAT YOU LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC THE BEST,
I WORRY THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT KEITH URBAN'S A FAG!

YOU BALANCE THE CHECKBOOK WITHOUT EVEN TRYING,
I CAN BALANCE ON ONE LEG, NO I AM NOT LYING.

I WISH THAT I COULD GIVE YOU THE CHILD YOU SO DESPERATELY SEEK,
I WORRY THAT THE CHILD WILL THINK THEIR FATHER IS OLD AND WEAK.

I WANT TO BE A BETTER MAN FOR MY WIFE,
BECAUSE I SUSPECT SHE'LL BE HERE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

-BARRY
