When I woke up
Suddenly, In the mid of the night
I saw stars out of my window
Shining bright in the dark sky
And inside you are sleeping beside
Wearing a childlike beautiful smile
After a tiring day
Still, I can see
A different kind of relief
On your stress free face
It seems, that it is
Glowing for the love
You hide in your heart
And the responsibilities
That you hold
As a Man of the family.

Beautiful isn’t it just?

Excellent. But it gave me quite a turn at the end. As I began reading, I was focused on the title, so I thought it was ”The Man of the Family” speaking and he who had risen to observe and give credit to his tired wife. The last line flipped it all, my goodness. I see without the final line; it could be either partner speaking though, of course, that was not the poet’s intention; forgive my intrusion.
