Tender

She is tender
Talking across
A pillow or sitting
Side by side watching
TV or at those moments
Glad or sad she shares her
Tender side with me when if
Otherwise I would harden my
Heart until all light dimmed
But I am fortunate she has
Decided to spend a time
With me who reflecting
Least deserves her
Tender care but
Am eternally
Grateful for
The many
Times
Shared
Past but
Most for the
The times to come.
