AM I THE ONLY ONE . . .who sees Christmas as a season of love?

I was trying to come up with something clever that tied into the holidays when I ran across this poem that I wrote several years ago. It isn’t Christmasy but it is a reminder that we need to let those we love know how much they are loved and cherished.

Having said that, Gentlemen, take heed, could your special lady be feeling this way?

WHY DOES HE LOVE HER?

Does he love her because
she’s charming and witty?
Or maybe it’s because
she’s caring and pretty.

Does he love her because
she’s comfortable to be around?
Old shoes are comfortable
and there’s plenty to be found.

Does he truly see her?
Does he know the color of her eyes?
Does he know when she’s sad?
Does he know how hard she tries?

Does he really hear her
during each conversation?
Or perhaps he’s thinking
about his next vacation.

Does he tell her he cares
or just assume she knows?
Would he think it’s silly
to present her a single rose?

Does he know of her hunger
to be needed and desired?
Is she always in his thoughts
even when he’s weary and tired.

Why does he love her?
Does she know the reason?
Perhaps he should tell her
Before the passing of the season.
