Love And Security Poem by Curtis Johnson

Love And Security
By Curtis Johnson

If I should succeed in crossing all my T’s and become a person of renown and nobility
If I should place all my ‘commas’ in all the right places, pausing where I should
If I should stop at all the signs requiring me to, and place all my ‘periods’ where they belong

If I should dot all my i’s and little j ’s too, and live a good and decent life all my days
If I should find happiness and fulfillment through my church, my country, and my career
If the outside world should view me as warm and wise, and approach me ever so respectfully

I must say that all such accomplishments would render me grateful and most appreciative
Nevertheless, if I should fail in making my wife feel secure and knowing by me she is loved
Then I shall ever be, and rightfully so, a man both unfinished and unfulfilled
