All I Have To Offer You - Is Me

---

This old gal…

Was working on a project shortening t-shirts…this squatty body does nothing…for those tees…that drop to the knees…this husband of mine comes in from outside hot and bothered…whew…he says…I’ll have to finish mowing later…when it cools off…

Well…came the observation from his beautiful bride…it is…almost noon…and it is…90 degrees out…so it is…probably going to be hot…even for you…a few minutes pass…and sewing me hears music…coming from the front room…that man of mine…cooling off…jamming out to love songs…by Charlie Pride…

If someone would have asked young me…what retirement would be like…don’t know what she would have said…described…but this…she is sure…would not have been it…simplicity…camaraderie…humor…support…those words…crooned by Charlie Pride…there will be no mansions…no fancy clothes…I’ll give you all my love…in any way I can…

All I have to offer you…is me…

This…right here…is better than anything imagined…and that…my dear friends…is enough…much much more…than…enough…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
