Ode to Wife

What a change From bouncy, bubbly and vivacious To determined, devoted and dedicated More than ever Reassuring, soothing and caring Pious and profound The serene figure with large persona From autumn aromas to Spring bloom From silent nights to morning choir Mild, soft and oblivious of herself Flowing from one room to another The cool breeze of devotion and care The selfless soul, bereft of comfort Merging herself with unending chores Fifty years gone like a whisper Time changed into history Oblivion ruled and embraced all Entering into the body and mind Of a dire and distinct man Spending herself at the altar of Commitment, tradition and destiny Still solo and undiffused, but mellowed She is the inevitable guest in my life Keeping inside her bosom The treasure of olden days With grown up children Gone to their destinations The lady ethereal always sings inside me
