Winsomeness

She has it in spades.

And with it, I am hooked.

Those green eyes, more like emerald green, pull me in.

Her chestnut hair, wispy without the wind, keeps my attention.

When she speaks, in whatever language she now chooses, has me on alert.

For I may not understand her words, but her meaning leaves no doubt.

“Vine aqui’” is worth the effort to translate, but once.

After that, muscle memory is all that is required.

Once, she discovered the word “coquette” while finishing a crossword puzzle,

At the same time, she was finishing a small lollipop from her favorite sweet shoppe.

To this day, it is our favorite sweet shoppe.

Her appeal is more than charming, more than innocent.

Her appeal is solely for me.

I cherish her effort,

Reciprocated by all of my efforts.

This is the dynamic of a successful marriage,

Proven by 31 years of experience.
