I watched my wife give birth to my child and her pain quenched the fire that made me wild. I wept from my debt and could feel the depth that my stone-hearted heart had created and was surprisingly in a few minutes melted. I hated myself and never could forgive myself. I had never shown her love, I had never been as gentle as a dove. I had never been this emotional, let alone been sensational. I was drawn to tears from my hard tent, I was moved by the passion of the moment. She whom I once took as the slave of my heart is now the queen of my heart. I now see the beauty in her eyes and the undying love in her eyes. She to whom I would never say “ladies first”, is now my lady who stands the first. She whom I never cared about is now the one I give no doubt. She whom I considered property is now my first quality. Against her will I never raise my hand but shall pamper her with my hands. She is the queen of my heart. To her would I ever doff my hat. « return. |
