Credit
Much smarter than I give him credit for
he stands back and watches, waiting
for the right moment to step in
makes his decision after contemplating
his word is final, no further debating
more caring than I give him credit for
he puts no more on me than I can take
though I have driven him hard to the edge
too strong to ever break
he forgives each and every mistake
more loving than I give him credit for
he loves to touch my skin
he, unknowingly at times
sends tingles over and over again
but he doesn't say he loves right then
still, he deserves more credit
than I could ever possibly give to him.
