Weight Of Your Heart Poem by Sandile mngadi.

Just because when we met you were size 28
Does not mean when you wear size 38 after years we marry
I will not see you for what you are
Just because I can pick you to our bedroom anymore
Does not mean you must not pick up you spirit
I should not complement you of how you look
Just because we have 3 kids together and have stretch marks
Does not mean you are not attractive anymore
I should look else where
Truth is I knew that as years go by your body will change
Truth is I knew after having family you will concentrate more in being a mother and a wife to me
Rather than looking at yourself and your body
That journal you always write complaining that you don’t love yourself anymore
I ask you to close it
Start writing what a wonderful woman you are to me and my kids
Start writing how wonderful you are in your body
Start being proud of what you are
I lift you my spirit
I carry you always and where ever I go
I carry the most treasurable thing about you
I carry the size of your heart with me always
I carry the weight of your heart and what it has brought to me and the kids
I weighed you before marrying you and understood you were for me
Your weigh is growth within us not a weight to be ashamed off.
I Love you more than you can image
I am nothing without you and your input in my life
I choose right Heaven knows when I made you my wife
