Sometimes I just feel like writing a poem. 

For _____

Before you

Mine was the life of the mind

Stimulating love affair with the intellect

I plumbed heights and depths of thought and was content

Then you

No one prepared me for this!

And after all these years, I still

Can’t understand where this astonishing capacity came from

How it is possible that I can care so much

It hurts!

I pray for a heart strong enough to bear the pain.
