Appendix A

So last week, my appendix decided that it didn’t like me anymore. Sunday night, my stomach wasn’t feeling very good. My wife had run to the store to pick up some things that we needed; I put the kids to bed. But, my stomach was starting to bother me.

I figured it was just gas. I was burping a lot; it would surely pass. No pun intended. I was reading a book on the couch, waiting for my wife to come home. My stomach was hurting more and more.

How Do I Love Her?

Well you know it’s not the first time and it will not be the last
When you find me here on my knees praying for the storm to pass
But what I am really needing is much more than just relief
I am crying out for wisdom only you can give to me
‘Cause it’s such a mystery
I’m a clueless man when it comes to knowing how to love a womanHow do I love her
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me
How do I love herOut of all the gifts you’ve given besides the very gift of life
There is none as precious to me as the treasure of my wife
And still all the love in my heart is like a raindrop to the sea
When compared to your love for her…and that’s why I’m asking please
Will you teach me what she needs
I’m an earnest man when it comes to learning how to love this womanHow Do I Love Her?
