Poetry: Love songs

by Molly Hansen

Created on: October 27, 2009

Somewhere along the way, my husband and I started referring to meeting each other's needs as "filling each other's bowls". My husband, however, insists that I don't have bowls. He says I have strainers instead! So, I wrote him this song.


STRAINER LOVE


When you pour it in you say it drains right out

It probably does, there is no doubt

But pour it in

Keep pouring it in


Cause you are so good at doing things

That make me feel like I'm all you need

You have your ways of loving me

They're rich and they're thick

And they drain slowly


And I know that you love me


We've been together for quite some time

What's mine is yours

What's yours is mine

Loving you is oh so sweet

Every need I have

You try to meet


And I know that you love me


When you pour it in you say it drains right out

It probably does, there is no doubt

But pour it in

Keep pouring it in
