I Love You Like A Golf Course

I write this on request
By a very special man
He wants a poem of meaning
So I'll give him what I can...
I love you like a golf course
You are beautiful, yet green
You have some rough patches
And can come off sort of mean
You will frustrate me forever
Because I can't make even par
But I know you'll always be there
And I love you as you are
I know you have some hazards,
And you always want your way
I'll probably never win the game
But it is awful fun to play.

From a wave called grief
Never perfect with its order
But almost constant with its beat

One after another
I see them surge into the shore
Some can be seen clearly
But others vanish just before

If they only slightly touch
I hear a whisper of a rhyme
I don’t even try to write them
Because they'll build if given time

The strong ones crash against me
With a force that makes me write
Once down they then recede
And give me peace for just one night
