A Special Creature in My Care

From childhood to early manhood, I learned to be compassionate, responsible, respectful, self reliant and a good listener. At age 22 years, I chose to activate all those characteristics. I wed a young mother with two daughters and also assumed responsibility for her mother and younger sister. It was a demanding lifetime effort. I was rewarded by her smile and sparkling green eyes that spoke loudly of her pleasure. I deeply loved her and liked very much having her around. The trials of life strengthened our wills and love for each other. In the end there is always a loser and life must go on with energy and purpose.
