Poem for my husband..... by Carol Mader

while you work, you give us the most cherished of all treasures

TIME

time... for snuggling and cuddling

two morning-tousled lifeforms beneath magical tents of sheets. time to throw away the shopping plans because it's ugly outside and there's almways tomorrow.

now we have time... for glitter messes and chocolate batter kisses.

time to explore puddles, mountains of books, and the depths of our imagination.

your efforts allow me time... to shape and mold and rock and hold. THANK YOU.

thank you for adhering to unyielding, grinding schedules

so that we can dance to the flow of the music each day.

thank you, my husband, for fighting traffic, office politics, and the sterile business world

to give us... TIME, together.

your sphere of equations and meetings opens our world to a deeper understanding of one another.

thank you for staring into a computer screen every day so that i can gaze into our children's big, hungry eyes all day long.

thank you from all of us. we know how lucky we are.
