Every Man

by Tony Whitaker



Behind every successful man
there is a surprised woman.
--Maryon Pearson ©



every man
at some point in time
dreams of being
king
of their dominion

every man
dreams of yesterday
desiring
fast cars,
sports
and…women

every man
in time faces
the reality of being
and memories
growing shorter

but every man
is blessed
if they find
while stumbling
to this eleventh-hour
of life
facing the haze
of waning days
with a
warm
and loving
wife

your notes have served as the foundation for all us romantic souls out here... its the often unspoken things that are so precious to this journey... when one has a soul mate to share with, the tender brushing away of a strand of hair, the quiet kiss on the hand for no reason at all, except to say..,"I love you".. the putting down of the toilet seat... the opening of the car door.. the saving of one's favorite page of the newspaper.. all these and more... *sigh*...;-)
