THREE LITTLE WORDS

Michael Edwards

THREE LITTLE WORDS

                                                          

 

 

And when your loved one sheds a tear

you whisper gently in her ear

the words a woman longs to hear:

 

……………………………………..‘Yes my dear’

    So very true but if I said that my wife would turn round and say "Don't call me dear!"

    • Michael Edwards

      I usually call my wife darling - but I do mean it..!

    • Goldfinch60

      This painting is very good. Love the detail which can be hard in watercolour.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks - yes but I had a great teacher whose work is in the royal collection - sadly he's no longer with us.

      • Fay Slimm.

        Those three words if honestly felt can mean a lot when tears need recognition - - love the wry humour though in this write - and oh that watercolour's clarity - - top class painting Michael.

                    It takes some men a life time to learn that. Life is so much easier and happier with those words.

                  • WriteBeLight

                    Wisdom of the ages. - I do whatever the voices in my wife's head tell me to do.
                    Seriously though, truer words are never spoken. So much peace and harmony can be bought with just those 3 words. It's amazing. - Phil A.

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Thanks Phil - better revert to 'I Love You' - now they really do work.
