This is just a little haiku I wrote in just a couple of minutes at work. I missed seeing my wife this morning (I didn't want to wake her), but want her to know I love her. I know I feel more complete when she feels like we are unified or 'one' as a couple. And I pray she may have peace through Christ, which pretty much always helps us when we aren't feeling exactly unified. So I tried to wrap that into a haiku for her.

Morning Haiku for Angie

 My life is complete
When my Love feels united
His peace make you whole

I wrote the following poem for my wife.  I was at a funeral - perhaps not the most appropriate place to write poetry - but emotions flowed to me at the time, so I wrote.  I think we often personalize things that happen around us in ways beyond the immediate.  In this case, the loss of a friend made me think of the death of my wife and what I would want to express to her.  In doing so, I used titles of songs we "shared" throughout the poem (kind of like a secret code within the poem).  I know this is an imperfect representation of a whole relationship, but I try to express even that inability to say everything.

Poor People Some people want that chance to find something to enhance. Sometimes they wait days or years so helpless while they watch us cheer. All they want is life, instead they are living in strife. Smiles A smile is something you would like to see every once in a while. To see someone in joy to see their smile is great, to see a smile is the opposite of seeing fate. Smiles around the world is something I've been waiting for. It will be something I greatly adore. by Trevor Bailey 1/1/2012
