Hi- I need a poem about my kind and
patient husband. His name is Tony. He is 47. He is the kindest man I
have ever met. I have a chronic illness that prevents me from doing many
things. He just pitches in and does them all. It does not Matter what it
is. He adopted my troubled teenager 8 years ago and she has been more than a handful for him. He does it because he loves me. When she showed up 8 months pregnant there wasn't a hesitation at all to take her in. He is a man of few words. But he shows me he loves me all the time by what he does to help me. I can no longer work and he says nothing. He just supports me the best he can. I can't believe I am so lucky. I don't know what I ever did to deserve him. He loves bowling, he is a real weinny. He loves baseball and works at computer/ telecommunication company. I love him dearly and appreciate him so much and I just want him to know.
 
Thanks so much, April Lilly
 
THE MAN
 
You are the man,
a type that is hard to find.
Gentle, loving and giving,
but most of all, very kind.
 
You are the man,
that does all my chores.
You fight my many battles,
you win my bloody wars.
 
You are the man,
that took my daughter in.
Never any hesitation,
just took it on the chin.
 
You are the man,
who doesn't have much to say.
But you show your love for me,
in every way, every single day.
 
You are the man,
that supports me now I'm ill.
Never a hint of malice,
no sign of a bitter pill.
 
You are the man,
that put luck into my life.
That was the day I married you,
the day I became your wife.
 
You are The Man,
and I want to say this clearly:
I appreciate you so very much,
and I love you dearly.
