“My wife is named Jean, and she is the inspiration for many things in my life, including occasional verse.“

We agreed that this Christmas was special
	And gifts between us wouldn’t do
So, I polished up something we’ve owned that
	Looks better than when it was new

It’s about the same color as “Happy”
	With a texture as soft as a smile
It warms like the glow of good friendship
	And it’s shaped like a dream with good style

…. Fragrant as bouquets of blessings
	And as strong as a good family’s bond
This gift will last you forever
	And possibly even beyond

The gift, dear, has thousands of titles
	Assigned since beginning of time
Feel free to name yours to your liking
	But “Jean” is what I call mine
