For my Husband

The days go by too quickly
Seems like there is more to do
Than there are hours in the day

Work deadlines and dishes
Ducks and dogs and football
and puppy school and moving

Sorting and Goodwill and doctors
family to visit, birthdays, weekends
and never enough time

For playing hookey from work
For sleeping in until noon, beer for lunch
For newlywed syndrome

The hours are filled with
a hundred other things to do
But all I really want

Is to take the day off - suspend time
and drink in your blue eyes
and feel your soft breath on my cheeks.

This season will pass
and sooner than we think
things will slow down for us

and there will be mornings without
multitudes of responsibilities
stealing away love's precious time.
