To My Wife On September 20th,2019: Happy (70th)birthday ….To You, ‘my Love'! !….. [ One's Mate ]

Rating: 5.0


It happened, nearly twelve years now in our past;
I promised [really? ] that, you, I would outlast.
In other words I ‘promised' I'd not die before YOU,
so, don't forget to die OR my life will NEVER be - -
- -through!

But don't worry.With all the herbs you give to me
I guess, from an imperfect world, I won't be "free".
[Not ever!I'll live even past Mankind's extinction! !
I would be glad to live without such a personal - -
- -distinction! ]

And if I ‘have to' keep living, even one day past you,
hear me well: "On my last day I'll still love you - -
- -TRUE! ! "

Hi Bri, A different kind of love letter to your wife. And of course, a fascinating birthday poem. Did your wife read this poem? what was her expression? I wish i had seen it. I like the competition of who will die first. I am sure you will live past mankind's extinction..... :) :) I must vote for this poem of dear poet Bri.....10

It begins with a lighter tone, almost all thru, but ends beautifully on a serious note. A good read.

A great avowal of love! But I wonder why you desire so much to outlive her! If she dies before you, she won't be able to hear your declaration of love for her! So keep telling her while she is with you that you will love her till your last breath (so that she will make for you more beautifully flavoured ice creams!) A great birthday gift for your dear one!
