Accommodations

The one has been my wife over forty years
The other and I just began to dance
The one has given children, and love and tears
The other gives me sweet, so sweet romance

The one thinks sex is something to face
The other needs to make love to me
The one has a drawer full of unworn lace
The other buys lace for me to see

The one talks more sweetly to the dog and the cat
The other whispers love songs in our afterglow rest
The one sees no reason to sit on my lap
The other wants my hand caressing her breast

The one sees me as an older bent tree
The other sees me as mature and wise
The one thinks back on the younger me
The other sees me with excited eyes

The one knows all of my lows and highs
The other has only seen my best
The one has depended on me all of her life
The other has overcome every test

The one thinks of me as an old close friend
The other responded to an innocent flirt
With one I cannot let my marriage end
The other knows I won’t let her hurt

The one will need and have my love
The other I’ll need and love as much
The one I know I can never leave
The other will always feel my touch
