I am so jealous. This is a poem that I should have wrtten for my wife. Sadly for me, you beat me to it. Bully for you, boo hoo for me. My hat is off to you, this is one of the finest poems that I have enjoyed reading in some time. Some people think that to qualify for greatness the poem must cover some deep and life changing subject. Wrong, the poem needs only be completely enjoyabe. This poem totally measures up.

I have to admit to you, I had to look up the word "treacle" to see what it was> I had no idea that it was molasses. That just goes to show you that no matter our age, there is something new that can be learned every day of our lives if we would all just simply read...

They asked for light & sweet, and I felt you delivered with this one in spades.

Good luck in the contest. :}

Dean, ass I grew up in a poor family, treacle (or Golden Syruo as it was labelled on the tin) was a staple as a cheaper substitute for jam or honey - not that we ever bought jam - alays home made!

Thanks for the nice review.

Homemade is always better any day of the week!

You're very welcome.

What a wo0nderful tribute to your wife. I like the way you listed the things that "you are..." by directing your words to her alone. This is well written
