A Poem For You Poem by Damien Martin O'Dowd

I like this gold wedding ring upon my finger
I like your tender lips, when we kiss, how you let it linger
I like the way when we fight, we sit and we talk it over
I like this simple life just you and me trying to find the answers

I like the way the light touches your skin in the morning
I like when we take walks along the wild Atlantic ocean
I like when you hold my hand when you know I need assurance
I like when you look and me and you know just what I am thinking

I like when you try to fight but you can't hold the smile in
I like when you drink champagne and the bubbles make you dizzy
I like when we lost our child how you prayed to the mother Mary
I like the truth in your eyes when you say that you love me

I like the days, the months the years we are are together
You search your hair for grey with ironic girlish pleasure
I like the way you wish that the ways of the world were fairer
I like the way that our souls will be in touch forever
