God gave some folks humps, and others got lumps.
Some got one arm too short and the other just right.
While some folks got bigger, almost overnight.
Some got pretty, some just so.
Most got fingers, and ten or so toes.
But what you got, He really gave me, ‘cause you’re just about perfect the way I see.
You make me laugh, and you make me cry, and I’ll love you always past the day that I die.
13 October 2001: I wrote this for a man to give to his wife. He often told her that she didn’t need any make-up, or anything other than her natural beauty; she never believed him. I’m sure now, with professional poetry on his side, he can convince her of her foolishness. I tell ya, it’s a great feeling to save a marriage with just a few cleverly arranged words.
