husband

 I cherish these moments with you. The soft kisses in the dim of morning light. As you escape to the day of labor, I wish you well and give thanks that you can provide. I still smell of your cologne. I relish this scent. This musk covering my body from your warm embrace. How I love you. How I cherish your strong back. Your giving arms. Your lovingkindness. Until the day’s end I will wonder if you are at ease. But soon, you will come home and I will give thanks that you are not hurt, you are well. You are fully capable of the work asked of you. But my prayers do not end. I will always care for you in my thoughts. And I will tend to your aching muscles as if they were my own on your return.
