Love Poem: Examination

Examination

I woke, a dream I’d had, 
me a student, an exam!
in sleepy haze, said to my wife,
“turn over  I’ll begin,” 
1.
the hard question, family, 
money and future; wrote notes 
upon her feet, intending to return, 
the question to complete

2.
the easiest by far, I  answered right
away; and on her resting lips I wrote,
“yes, always, every day.”
