My spouse is bald,
without hair on top.
He may not look handsome
to average people,
but to me, he is beautiful -
let me tell you why.
Unlike some,
he does not talk
to an ex-girlfriend
because she is unhappy.
that would be cheating.
He does not go out
with his male friends
to Las Vegas to drink,
leaving me alone with kids.
When the baby needs
a sudden diaper change,
he does not call me -
he does it himself.
If I need,
my phone case changed,
or my laptop mouse fixed,
he makes sure
it's done within ten minutes.
He gives medicines to the kids,
puts balm on their foreheads,
makes ginger egg soup.
He is so beautiful,
in his actions, and manners.
If you cannot see beauty
beyond muscles, hair, or face,
then you have not
done your life philosophy well.
Since I don’t want to impress,
but seek peace,
I don’t desire handsome man—
I go for a beautiful man.

I'm so happy you have such a wonderful spouse! Loved your poem!
How wonderfully you wrote this ode to your husband. Marriage and family is a partnership that both parties are constantly working. Good job.
