F says… “Friend”

In response to A-Z April Challenge

I asked my husband,

F says, he replied,

FRIEND.

As you are to me,

and I am to you.

Husbands and wife later,

first friends are few.

For this prompt, he inspired,

since, ‘Friend’ he answered.

Although, I thought of the same word,

but his answer affirmed and confirmed.

A sense of assurance it did create,

and an inner strength it did provide,

when he said, we’ll always be friends,

before the groom and the bride.
