Sometimes I don't want to know
how your day went because
if it was bad, I wasn't there
to make it better
like a good wife does.

My days are spent missing you.
My nights are restless, achy.
I toss and turn and clutch pillows,
and wake in the morning shaky.

All I want to know is when
you will be home, when I'll see you again,
so I can make things better because
that's what a good wife does.

And you've been so good to me,
can't help but to want to be,
each and every day of my life,
the perfect model of a good wife.

I can appreciate "good wives"...as long as they have "good husbands."

Even though "missing" someone can be a bit lonely...just remember you have that one person in your life now~~ nice to see that in your words~~

To want to take the pain away from the one you love, to be a "good wife," is an admirable trait. Although, in this poem I sense, very lightly, but I sense a hint of sarcasm.
