A couple of years ago TheHusband made a comment that he was surprised I haven't given him more poems as gifts over the years. And I suppose he has a point, I mean I do claim to be a writer. However, over the years, I've found that I just can't express my love for him (or how much I appreciate his love for me) any better than I did in the poem I wrote for him for our first Valentine's Day as husband and wife. So to remind him how I feel, here's that poem again.
To My Husband
In your eyes...
I see who I want to be,
and you love me for who I am.
In your arms...
I am sheltered, safe, secure,
and you give me strength to stand tall.
In your life...
I've found soil to plant deep roots,
and you encourage me to grow.
In your heart,
I am your friend, lover, wife,
and am treasured beyond my worth.
In your eyes...
In your arms...
In your life...
In your heart...
There is no other place on earth
this heart of mine could call home.
Author's note: originally written for Valentine's Day 2003.
