64 Reasons

Kept in my heart, in the very core
are four and three score things I adore
Your wit, your caring, your warmth, your wiles
and every day, five dozen new smiles


At thirty two I`m but half of you
Two of me still not adequate to
convey in full the joy you inspire
Oh! Such wondrous times with you transpire!


Eight pairs of mere clever invention
Each with four more well-meant intentions
Do not begin to wholly embrace
You, Friend, words alone cannot encase


Sixty and four seems just too few then
to give yearly all the reasons when
I could think of a hundred or two
why I love you- because you are You

But that one reason, by far, would do.

the object of your affection is very lucky.
i like the solid rhythm of this.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

loner and MidnightSon- thanks muchly for your comments, glad you liked. It was written in fun for a very good friend on his 64th birthday.

I`ve been away for quite a while, hope to do some much needed catching up here. Good to see many familiar faces still around, and some new ones too

Yes..WHERE on earth have you been, and why the hell is such a wonderful read way back here?

Loved this

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

Hello again I`ve been traveling a lot, just got back from a six week jaunt-sorry the reply is so late. Thanks kindly, Temptress.

James- that`s what he said! Thanks for the chuckle!
