Him & him

So yesterday caused much ruckus

Amongst dating and married couples alike

A hated target amongst other wives

As their husbands declared

They too wanted

A white metal object of joy

My heart delighted

Too much in the deceit

And sneakiness

Of months of secret saving

To provide the “whoop whoop bird”

Something to truly

Make a noise about

But my heart delighted too

In the sacrifice

Of me not being the front

For behind the camera

I, like you, merely watch

In wonder at another’s joy

Was sacrifice worth

Not having Fossil purse

Or lack of TOMS wedges

Was sacrifice worth

More of him and

Less of

me?

Is sacrifice worth making vow

To say I will submit

And follow you

Not rearing ugly domineering head

But letting you lead

Knowing you have my interest

Best interest

Safely in your heart?

And when others

Even royals

Omit obey

Is sacrifice worth

Being the only one

To take words

In humble pie

Willing to say

I don’t know it all

I am often wrong

Two minds

Better than one alone

I will listen

And follow you

And as this horizontal

Same level relationship

Grows

Seeking to lift the other

And not all about self

It spurs me on in my worship of

Him

The one that it matters most about.

The one whose ways I ultimately

Submit to

For they are higher than mine

Wiser than mine

Can we put ourselves aside

Casting down pride

Willing to be less

So that others may be more?
