a spouse in the house

There's a spouse in the house!

She's different from me...

In every way possible,

or so it sure seems...

She's soft and warm while I'm scratchy and cold

Her voice is like music

Mine's brassy or bold.

She's always loved flowers, plants, curtains and rugs

While I'd be content in a box without bugs

We somehow fit in millions of ways,

but she is sure different

(that's a good thing, I'd say!)

I love her around and I love her to stay

I love the three children who showed up one day 

(they grew and went away!)

There's a spouse in my house,

I'm glad to say.

She's absolutely great...

(I'm amazed every day)

Proverbs 5:18 

Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
    Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
