We are a pair, the two of us, you and I.
Not opposite, but compliments, like sea and sky.
Like a left shoe and a right.
Like a goose and a gander in flight.
You are poem, I am prose.
I am fingers, you are toes.
I am in the clouds, you are down to earth.
You enjoy my humor, I like your myrth.
The things you bake are always good.
The pieces I make are generally wood.
I get the news from TV, you from a phone.
You like babies, I like them full grown.
You counter my cold logic with warm reason.
I can't match your kindness in any season.
You meet my gifts with sweet smiles.
I greet your kindness in stoic styles.
But the match works best with just one line,
I will ever be yours, you will always be mine.
To Linda from Jim with love.
