Beaky's Blather

Hold my hand as we walk, 

…. like you used to.

Make me seem smart as we talk,

…. like you used to.

When my successes seem slight,

Make my day feel alright,

lift my spirits, my heart,

…. like you used to.

Make me feel I have guile,

…. like you used to.

 When I’m wrong by a mile,

…. as you’re used to,

Make me feel clever not dumb,

be my partner, my chum,

help my low mood feel light

…. like you used to.

I still reach out my hand

…. like I used to. 

As your lover, the man

you were used to.

I reach to touch you at night,

hug and hold you so tight

slip together like spoons

…. as we used to. 

Two malts as a blend, 

…. One we’re used to.

Forgive, make amends

…. as we used to.

Two people together, 

loved and cherished forever

…you’re the love of my life….

my best friend, my wife

together…. forever,

it’s what I’m used to.
