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

AUTHORBrenda Arledge You hit the nail right on the head. You have triggered a good time and it only gets better when you have other people to share it with. Sometimes the greatest joys are seeing people's reactions to the poems that I write. When writing I never know where my story will go. I am uneasy about the whole process. That can take a couple of hours until I am done. Then when it is done I am so glad it is finished. I don't want to see it for a while. Then I sit and wait. I stand too. I am not sure if it helps or not. If I get a comment I am so pleased that someone found my poem. So the littlest comment means a lot. I have read so many great stories, poems, and writings on Hubpages. I honestly feel it is because of writers like you that keep us writing. Thank you so much and have a great day.

Gypsy Rose Lee You are happy by yourself because you do the things your heart wants. If the time comes where you find someone who loves the things you love you might change your mind. You have shown great passion in all your writings. It is not hard to imagine there is another special guy out there looking for someone just like you. You had a beautiful marriage and a great guy who gave you something nobody else could. You can always cherish those times and they will stay special in your life forever. I think he would want to see you happy and live your happiest life ever. Thank you for your comments and I hope your weekend was grand.

Sannyasi Raja I think we should appreciate each other anytime we can. There are so many little things that we can do during each day that can bring great pleasure to one another. Especially, when we get busy and it is easy to be exhausted. Thank you so much for reading and sharing. I hope we all find new ways to care for each other. It can not only make someone you care about happy but make your day amazing too. The feeling of giving doesn't stop it just finds more reasons to give. May your day be bright and lovely.
Those little moments are the ones we each cherish.
Sometimes they mean more than the bigger ones.
You are both blessed to have each other and to be able to share so many things. I am now used to sharing with only myself and since I find I can rely on myself I don't feel the need to involve anyone else.
WOW. You expressed your love and respect for your wife very beautifully. You are a very nice person.
