Happy Valentine's Day 2011

It's Like This!
He likes it dark, and I like it light,

I like the daytime, he likes the night,

He's always warm, I'm always cold,

I like coffee weak, he likes it bold,

He gets up early, I sleep in late,

I like to nibble, he likes a full plate,

He's into sports, and I'm into art

I like things shabby, he likes things smart,

He doesn't read, I eat up books,

I'm always baking, he never cooks,

He likes big spaces, I like them small

I like to write, he likes to call.

The list is quite endless,

I'll bore you to tears,

but just let me tell you

we've been married for years!

It doesn't take sameness

to make it work out,

it takes learning to smile 

and knowing when NOT to pout!
