Beloved
. . . of a man since 1978 is a good thing to be. He adds wit and wisdom including history to my life, He knows me, enjoys me and enjoys being with me. He validates me, forgives me, amuses me. Now at this late date, he improves my circulation, flexibility, colour and tone. He makes me feel beautiful and perceive myself, and the whole world as such. He improves my mood and outlook.
He indulges me, protects me, defends me, pleasures me and takes pleasure in me. He instructs me, guides me, and shares from his trove of historical, political, financial and literary knowledge. He discusses politics from his unique point of view without insulting mine. He stands by me and offers me rescuing, which I never accept, but it is solace to my soul to have someone who is on my side in matters great and small.
He is patient with me, and kind in ways I could not imagine for myself, Those things are small injections of joy into my life. He cares about my disabled child, and is a great role model both for the child and for me. He is the soul of discipline and attention to detail. He is generous with his time and energy. He decorates my homestead with his vigor.
There is peace, joy and love in his presence. I like him for a friend. We get along well, he says. He also says that I am lighthearted. The sound of his voice helps with that.
