My Hubby
Oh, for the love of a good man.
He stands by my side.
Neither in front, nor behind.
His love cannot be denied.
After some five years together,
We were having a salad for tea.
Lettuce, cucumber, sardines and more,
Daughters and I tucked in with glee!
Hubby picked and pushed
The food around his plate.
I knew he had something on his mind -
Something I might hate??
Later, in the kitchen,
As I put away the bread.
He came up behind me
And this is what he said:
"You know I love your cooking,
Be it dinners, salad or baked beans.
Darling, I have to tell you -
I really HATE sardines!"
"Is that all?" I said,
Through laughter and the tears.
"You hate sardines? -
After all these years!"
For when I first invited him
To my home to eat,
It was a sardine salad,
He ate the lot - That's hubby, my Pete!
