For My Wife Amy

The one you seek when your pride runs out
The one you want when the lights are out
The one you hug when he starts to pout

I still want that to be me

The one you kiss at the end of the day
The one to whom you have lots to say
The one who makes you laugh and feel gay

I still want that to be me

The one you trust with our three little boys
The one you calm who makes too much noise
The one you think of when you count your joys

I still want that to be me

The one you call when there’s bad weather
The one who makes you feel stronger than leather
The one with whom you feel better together

I still want that to be me

And although we argue some of the time
And our feelings on things don’t always rhyme
And now that we’re slipping away from our prime
The one who’s with you all of the time

I still want that to be me
