The sound of your voice
has a calming affect
before entering dismayed
days serving corporates
and non-essential nights
where pre-theater goers
and business card toting
bankers go wild.

The sound of your voice
reminds me what hard work
will eventually pay off
but not with money
rather time invested -
working will give dividends
for happiness with you
and a future of love.

The sound of your voice
conjures images of days yet lived
with the soothing mother's caress
I will eagerly watch you undo
those things you endured
raising our children with me -
more than I could ever ask
of my one true love.
