A tribute to my husband. (Eat your heart out ladies)
New day starts with his cup of coffee;
Newspaper’s open to read what’s inside.
“Morning, Sweets” he says as she enters,
Still slightly groggy and rubbing her eyes.
He’s bright and cheery, ready for the day,
“Morning”, she mumbles, giving her reply.
Asks of her night, did she get plenty of rest?
Simple conversation as they start the day.
He moves to the kitchen and gives her a kiss;
She’s leaning on the counter, hardly awake.
Refills his cup as she adds creamer to hers,
Soon his lunch is packed, and he’s on his way.
One more kiss, as he heads for the door;
Last minute reminders of plans they’ve made.
A quick ‘I love you’, he’ll remember for sure,
Family and friend, for each one he’s prayed.
He loves his wife, she’s his best friend,
To keep her close, he’ll strongly contend.
He has his faults, as all men do,
Won’t mention them here for all to see,
but to the love of his life he remains true.
She doesn’t deserve all the love that he gives;
She’s tested him sorely in certain days past.
But together each day, they love…
and they live.
@hfj Wasn’t intended as a sexest remark, my dear. Yes, we ALL have faults, all men and all women. I was just comparing him to other men since I wouldn’t consider a woman as an option for a husband, which is the subject of the poem. 
This piece is very warm, your connection with your husband comes through your poem. Lovely work
