It's No Surprise To Me
That We Had An Amazing Day
Our plans were soon executed
So efficiently and like clockwork
Each one adding to our day of excitement
We rolled out a few suggestions
That seems to play out well
Even now with only twenty-two minutes left to this day
Everything from meeting my wife's cousin for lunch
Taking a drive and getting something to eat
Going food shopping and fixing a quick supper
Watching a little t.v. we both enjoy
It may not be the life other people have
It sure is the life I know well and live every day
My wife tired and off to bed
I stayed up a little bit to kick around some last-minute ideas
We were both off from work today
Which is where we spend the most beautiful time together
My wife and I discuss everything under the sun
An open conversation on so many topics
In between patting our cat Charlotte
We often talk to her as if she was a real person
There are so things that are nice for a man to do
When we stop for gas
I always get out of the car and gas up our car
It is not like my wife can't do it
I am glad to do it
I feel it shows respect and it is the polite thing to do
I wonder if all gentlemen do it for their spouses?
There are little things that make my wife happy
She will say thank you many times during the day
It is when I do the unexpected or pamper her just a little bit more
I get the biggest rush
It's such a fulfilling feeling I get deep inside
It was raining today so I went out and put the groceries in the car
Then I pulled the car up to the door for my wife
Usually, we go out together and I put the groceries in while she starts up the car
Recently, I have found different colorful masks at Target and at Kohl's
I wasn't in the store that long
Before thoughts flood my head
Like someone hitting the keys on an old adding machine
My brain clicks away
I thought she would love the colors and at the same time look a bit sexy
I picked them up for my wife as a little surprise
Then I wonder did I do it more for her or me
It is not about the biggest, fastest, and most expensive things money can buy
It is all about the little things that over time
That turn into the big things in our life
