In one unpretentious home <br />A content woman patiently waits <br />With three coins in her pocket <br />She could not even buy a comb <br /> <br />The man is running late from work <br />City traffic is tremendously dense <br />A crowded bus filled with diesel smoke <br />And the small bag of food is getting cold <br /> <br />Fatigued he wishes to be home soon <br />He has to walk a mile before dark <br />At last reaching the gate sweaty and hot <br />She was there to give him a warm hug <br /> <br />He gave her a smile and he greeted <br />I am so happy to be home darlin’ <br />Handed her the small bag and a kiss <br />And they walked on side by side <br /> <br />Inside this faintly lit home <br />They both sat down sweetly talkin’ <br />About how the day went by <br />While humbly share the plate <br /> <br />This unpretentious love is so sincere <br />It can never be forgone <br />Life through hunger or starvation <br />With each other the love survives <br /> <br /> ~ <br /> <br />Happy Valentine’s Day <br />Kay Barcelon <br /> <br /> ~<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-and-hunger/
