The Red Jacket
This morning, earlier than normal, you arose for work
This was long before the coffee pot began to perk
I felt you stirring, and after a while, I saw you down the hall
A little later, you quietly informed me of the meaning of it all
I could tell that you needed to run
So I arose to see you off, and to say goodbye
With my eyes, I saw your beauty and brightness
You were shinning like today’s light in the morning sky
I remember telling before that you look great in bright colors
But today, you looked gorgeous and even a bit exceptional
Had I not paused to observe and pay you a deserving compliment,
I would have been undeserving of you, and worst than a common criminal
I noticed that you were so stunningly dressed in red;
But when I reached for you, I saw more that just red
I embraced you just before you backed out of the garage
Clearly that was when I saw “that something special” about you
Earlier, I had glanced it just before I arose from bed
When I embraced you, I saw close up the style of your hair
I felt your warmth and softness like a breath of fresh air
With a presence so smooth, you looked lovely and sweet to me
And O my, that fitted red jacket you were wearing was a sight to see
