TELL HER SO, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Amid the cares of married strife Last Line: She is worth her weight in gold / tell her so! Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings;husbands;wives | ||||||||
Amid the cares of married strife In spite of toil and business life If you value your dear wife -- Tell her so! When days are dark and deeply blue She has her troubles, same as you Show her that your love is true Tell her so! Don't act as if she's past her prime As tho' to please her were a crime If ever you loved her, now's the time -- Tell her so! She'll return for each caress A hundred fold of tenderness, Hearts like hers were made to bless; Tell her so! You are hers and hers alone; Well you know she's all your own; Don't wait to carve it on a stone -- Tell her so! Never let her heart grow cold Richer beauties will unfold She is worth her weight in gold Tell her so! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
