A happy little thought about my husband – by Rocket_owl Posted on  April 17, 2015  by  Kindness Blog  http://kindnessblog.com/author/thekindnessblog/ Last night while asleep in our bed my husband let out a startled moan. I then felt his hand patting the comforter – searching for me. It came to rest once it found my side. I realized I LOVE that: Despite the fact he is a 28-year-old, dirty hand working, beer drinking, beard growing man. Despite the fact he sleeps with a baseball bat beside him because he knows it makes me feel safe. Despite the fact he served 5 years in the army which included one tour to Afghanistan.  I’M  the one that protects him from bad dreams.

I cry at these milestones because it reminds me how fast the years have gone by...I don't think my Joey knows I wrote this poem for him a while back... Family Portrait - 2008 - photo by  Peter J. Crowley Batang Lalake (Baby Boy) his speech lagged at three born with babies crying in his ears now man-heavy  his voice: bass and harmonica  as if he were bobbing and reading  sheet music at the same time woolly mornings and stretched tight nights overcrowded him gruff tree against the realm— my boy at man's threshold determined to etch on his coat of arms permanent ink of love and mirth no yardstick no barometer, just him over there in the heart of the labyrinth More of CEE QUE's work can be found  on  http://yourartsygirl.blogspot.co.uk/
