Ode to My Husband
An Abecedarian Rhyming Poem
Always faith and true.
Brave beyond belief.
Caring through and through.
Devotion never brief.
Everlasting love to pursue.
Fearless fiery heart thief.
Giving in all you do.
Helping me through my grief.
Intelligent and forthright too.
Just and honorable in your beliefs.
Kind-hearted and Christlike virtue.
Love of my life, my heart’s chief.
Marriage created spiritual breakthrough.
Never failing to be brief
Or short in your particular views.
Personality exciting like a windblown leaf.
Quirky, but quick to amuse.
Ruggedly protecting me from life’s figurative reef.
Stealthily always trying to light a fuse.
Talking and talking each daily debrief.
Understanding and never one to abuse.
Vulnerable at times like gold leaf.
Welcoming and seldom given over to the blues.
Xeric-like sense of humor, an eclectic motif.
Yokefellow and my intriguing muse.
Zealously, hand in hand, walking as lief.
