a man and a woman

what a day has passed
Lyn's in the hospital
cardiac issues
yet still, she's laughing gaily
I can only pray

she smiles easily
I gaze into her eyes
her sparkle lifts my heart
our hands are held together
our love comes easy

when the morning comes
you'll find me at her side
my hands caress her face
and though they may be watching
ever tender time

now I know what makes a man
it's not a macho thing
to receive the love of her
fills me of strength forever
how I love her

can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?

wifey's back home now. apparently she occasionally has esophagian spasms which symptoms mimic angina. all tests related to cardiac distress were found negative. however, it was discovered by physicians, and confirmed by technical specialists, that she does indeed...have a heart! whoda' thunk it? thanks for caring...
