The Perfect Duo

A tribute poem to my wife

we tag team meltdowns

but never leave a player hangin’

play to each other’s skills cause we know

we got our strengths,

our weaknesses are blind spots for the other to look for

pill reminders and knowing when to stop pushin’ a subject,

i ask the same question five times even though i know there was an answer

she answers six times because she knows i just wasn’t listening enough the first five times

i always know where her phone is (usually right next to her)

we laugh at my never-perfect parking

and at how her balancing act is a stumble but always with a cheeky smile,

she’s hilarious, I’m silly, together we get funny

there’s always something to laugh about even if it’s through tears and locks on doors that seem to always get jammed

i can’t wait for our kids to hear all the wild shenanigans we got up to
