ALL IN PLACE

© RYAN GUILEY

It is alright for the dishes to be pile,

But not for us to be away in miles,

The toys can be scattered on the floor,

But, it is you who I want even more.

If there is dust on the ledge of the table,

I just care who you are and to be able,

To love me as you shine in the face,

As I just want to hold you all in place.

It doesn’t have to be a perfect meal,

Just that you thought of me and feel,

If your purse doesn’t match your shoes,

It will be fine, as I will get amused.

If we go on a date and you are worried,

About the kids, just please don’t hurry,

The will survive and will just be fine,

Enjoy that moment, we are here to dine.

Our kids coughing, as you wake up,

Giving them water to drink out of a cup,

Deep in my sleep, I knew what you did,

As I appreciate it, you were all over the grid.

Making lunches, to make sure we enjoyed it,

I thought of you while I just couldn’t sit,

All the hard work and effort in a day,

As you were so exhausted and couldn’t lay.

The baskets are filled with dirty clothes,

I often thought of you, giving you a rose,

Missing your favourite T.V. episodes,

Just relax, you don’t have to do a laundry load.

I just want my family to be happy and enjoy,

As, now I realize, we have a girl and two boys,

Sometimes, you are counting the night to end,

But soon as they are away, you just want to pretend.

How you could of ever imagine them not born,

Being a parent, is worth it, even if you are worn,

So many spilt cups of milk all over the floor,

Loving you is easy and never a chore.

Making sure they remember the lines in the recital,

Rooting for them, as they make us so vital,

Then it is midnight, as you hit the bed,

Thinking over again, as you are so in a dread.

Did I do that, or I will do that in the morning,

I had a concern, as you were never boring,

Now, I wonder what someone else will think,

You don’t need that, just me, as I’m the missing link.

So many typical people go through this,

But rest assure, I never missed your kiss,

You have done a lot and are so kind,

As I know what goes through your mind.

If you could just visualize that I always adore,

No matter what you did or what I wanted more,

I did the little things that counted,

So, did you, as it has been all mounted.

That I will be by your side to infinity,

Through old, new, good, bad, and beauty,

I did my best to help each day,

But being apart, should never be this way.
