My dear husband

Whisper
by Laurie Cooper










I have been called so I can speak to you.
I have been told words 
that when spoken 
are powerful and mighty.
They strengthen weaklings
Yet bow to the heavens.

Words that greet
Words that wish well
Words that preach
And words that heal.

I have been called so I can touch you
Gently,
And then firmly embrace you.

I have been called so that I may hear you:
Your soundless breaths;
Your echoing chambers of thought;
Your anxiety when making plans.

I have been called so that I can share with you
Sunny days,
Esteem shattering gales,
Nail biting storms
And comforting candlelit coves.

I am here now.
I stand before you,
Where I am called 
finally to be your wife.

(No harm in being prepared right?)
