Pronouns

I love my wife
“Bravo!” you exclaim
Accolades turn sour
As pronouns reveal
I am also a wife.

My first response
To bristle
I then regret
The unkindness of my tone
In response to lack of understanding.

I am saddened.
You see
You may never know
The laughter we share
The passion for life we exuberate.

You may never know her stories
Her resilience, adventures, pains.
You may miss her impartation
Of kindness into your soul.

He has a husband.
I have a wife.
Why so put off
By a simple display of affection?
Are pronouns so intimidating?

It is time we change this maddening world
And learn to love above all else.
If I love her and she loves me,
And he loves him and he loves he,
Love is in bloom.

The
world
is
made
brighter.

It is time. Peace to you.
