My Husband Who

My husband who
is a gentle and quiet soul
has eyes that reveal a crystal blue truth
once had hair the color of cotton

asks little in return
is my rock
is my shelter

worries about the future
tells me I'm beautiful
and tenderly strokes my back at the end
of each day

can't stop worrying about "his girls"
is a devoted father
gives me hope

doesn't like doing dishes
is tall and strong
loves Bama and The Bear

after twenty years, still makes my skin
tingle upon his touch
makes my life whole and complete
