For Years For Me
A Poem by
Marie Harrison
Who is counting?
For Years For Me
You loved
Toasts you made
Many of my family's caskets you carried
Rules you broke
Stories you told
Dishes you washed
Beds you made
Seats you saved
Jokes you told
Smiles you flashed
Hands you shook
Games you played
Hours you danced
Concerts you rocked
Tears you cried
Lips you kissed
Curves you touched
Coins you tossed
Wishes you made
Dogs you slept with
Many miles you drove
Many miles you flew
Burnt meals you ate
All to be with me
Thank you

Aw, you can feel the love in this poem. It's an amazing thing...love. Be lucky you have it. Some people never get to experience it. I count myself lucky everyday for the friends, family, and my husband and kids. Great write :) Thank you for sharing such a lovely poem.

Aw, the gratitude in this is so sweet, love it. Nicely worded and I like how it's set out, kinda of like a list of things to do, which is very interesting and ties in with the context well, good job~
