My husband lies in bed this eve A thick black book rests upon his knees Studying facts and figures ever more Instead of writing sweet, or funny prose. The life of work has claimed his time He's devoted himself to bettering his mind Giving his occupation it's worldly due It seems he's found a brand new muse. But this time he has scheduled me into his days Always giving me his worthy praise He's become a calmer, patient man The one I always hoped was in the plan. And while we live away from home in this Chattanooga town I've found I rarely have reason to as much as frown The sun comes up; the sun goes down And my sweet, loving man is much more often around... |

How wonderful that you can be with him! And that he's making time for you...though he should be 'making time' for his job..and concentrating on you!  |
