Love and Marriage

So many years of married life..
Am sure there is a lot of love ..
Under the pillow..
In the nooks and crannies of my house..
Where i have forgotten to look.
There is lots of love
Floating all around
In our attitudes
In our approach
To each other.
There is a lot of love
In the home that we built
Together
Step by step
Brick by brick
Year over year
Which has to be
Religiously
Watered and Pruned
and tended to
Lovingly.

As with other things
We now are accustomed
To see each other
To talk to each other
To know each other
To hide from each other
To face each other
As and when we need to
As and when we feel like
As and when "time permits"
As and when!!

In this "As and When"
and "Whenever"
We have forgotten
The "Here and Now"
That was so there
Then!

Not my ditty (but oh it is!) ... but of another lady, even more witty!
