Love Poem: Maker of My Home

Maker of My Home

Upon the counter, she kneads her dough
This woman, not of intimidating frame
But yet, such strength, she pounds away
My wife, my love, who has taken my name

Such pride I have, to call her that
She makes my house a lovely home
So for her strength and loving ways
From her heart I’d never roam

Oh woman, when sun descends
As I walk through this unlocked door
To see you standing, yet with a smile
I could not love you even more

The children run to greet me, true
The dog, she begs and whimpers strong
But this, my love I must convey
It’s with your heart, that I belong
