If you had read my previous post here about my fear of flying then you’d know how I was getting into a bit of a state. I had so many great and supportive comments on that post, it really did help. Thanks very much:) My ode to him – my other half was born out of fear and love very high up.
[metaslider id=694]
I’m not normally the soppy sort but the way that the other half handled my quietness and obvious anxiety was really touching. The hormones must of been raging because at how ever many thousands of feet up on the airbus 319 I found myself expressing my thoughts to him in a poem.
There is no agenda
There is no pretence
We’re together because we want to be,
Together even when I’m tense.
———-
Like now
As we take off
Like now
As I try to hold it down.
———-
He sits here, peaceful, majestic
Not a worry, not a frown.
———-
I love my man to Munich and back
I love him because I can,
He makes it easy to be with him
He makes me so very calm.
———-
Like now
As he strokes me,
Like now
Gently on my arm.
———-
So, thank you sweetie for being you,
Thank you for ‘us’ too.
You’ve made this trip just fly by
Through doing what you do.

This last parts so very easy babe….
Nothing more to say
As we alight this huge great craft
‘I love you more each day’
Just Beautiful! I am certainly no poet, but I do enjoy reading them! It’s so great that he supported you just by being him… I hope you both had a fantastic time away in Munich! 🙂 xxx
Awe what a beautiful poem! He sounds like a very kind and supportive person 🙂 I’m glad you flew to Munich even though it’s obvious how scared you were flying 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday x
Thank you, yes it needed to be done as do a lot of trips and I love it when I’m there. He’s a star. Thank you for your comments X
This is beautifully written with such a great sentiment. Ross does similar for me in other situations so I understand where this is coming from. Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought x
Thank you for your lovely comments x
That was beautiful and I would bet that he treasures your words and is very proud of them. I think men feel deeper than we realise.

What a lovely poem, and tribute to your other half. I am sure he was touched. He is obviously a huge support, through such an activity which is clearly so challenging for you. Hope it made the flight easier and it sounds like it did #Prose4T
Thank you for your comment:) yes he did really help, I was so glad he was right there.
Aww this is lovely. I hope he has read this. He sounds so supportive, as flying is a bit scary. I hope you have lots of lovely trips together and lots of time together. Thanks for sharing with #bestandworst x
Thank you Sarah:) Yeah he’s read it and I think he was surprised what was going through my head at the time. As far as he was concerned he was just there! Thats the way he is:)
Aww that’s lovely! Can really see how much he means to you. #bestandworst
Ah that’s so lovely, it sounds like he’s your perfect partner!xx
Hmm….saw the word flying, poked fingers in ears and shouted ‘la la la’ with my eyes shut…… Then read the poem and thought wow…well written and your partner must feel really proud to be with you if you can write such wonderful prose about how you feel…brilliant ?
Hey Gary, thanks for your comments, really pleased you liked it and it came across ok. I think my partner feels embarrassedly proud, which I’m not sure is an actual word but I’m pretty confident is a feeling!!:)
Sounds like you have the perfect partner!
Lol nearly,bless him, but in this particular time and place, yes just right:)
