How Much She's Loved

Another long day comes to an end. 

Her tired, achy bones crack underneath her sweater,

Just one size too big. 

A warm embrace blocks the chill that penetrates the foggy window. 

The room glows in the comforting light of the fireplace 

as a couple enjoys a quiet moment in each other’s arms. 

A gentle kiss still brings a flush of red to her cheeks,

even after all their years together. 

He knows it’s the little things that reaffirm how much she’s loved.
