The three women have been married to the same men for thirty years
And still the touch of their husbands brings a shiver of delight.It’s like ice cream, the way it melts in your mouth and satisfies a craving,
The way a cold headache is both bothersome and necessary,The way birth of a child is the most important thing in the world
After love and forever affection of a husband coming home from work,
His hands callused, his nails dirty, but his face the stars from heaven to earth.
