More Than I Deserve

She’s more than I deserve,

better than I could ever hope for,

a companion through times both

good and bad,

a friend until the end,

standing by my side

when no one else will,

a sounding board

for the madness,

a shelter from the wind,

a sexual fantasy,

a warm summer’s dream,

riding out the storm

in Calera, Alabama,

surviving the threats

of a dark future,

always there,

overcoming fears and barriers

to be by my side;

more than I deserve.
