You and Me

They were both awkward when it came to the opposite sex. Yet, shyly they met. And then waited in each others thoughts and dreams.

A year later, he wondered. A query. She moved back east wanting a change. He wrote to her. She wrote back. A love story created on paper turned real when they met.  

Thirty-eight years later their hearts are inseparable.

My Wife, My Friend

My wife's friend came to visit.
She stayed a couple of days,
And as she said goodbye,
I saw my wife had some teary eyes. 

Longingly, I said to myself, 
I wish I had a friend like that,
And it occurred to me that I did...
      My wife.
