Dear Husband

I love how you know me,

Each thought you can see,

Your eyes crinkle with knowledge,

And twinkle with glee,

How the darkness is lightened

By your eyes meeting mine,

Each chuckle is sacred, 

Each sorrow divine.

You may hear my thoughts,  

Before they are spoken,

Our glances are shared,

With silence unbroken. 

Through sorrow and pain, 

Neglect and despair, 

Through jealousy and strife, 

Our lives we repair.

Your heart is noble,

Your spirit true,

When I need a strong shoulder,

I lean only on you.

You are worth everything,

Every hurt, every tear.

You are the Yin to my Yang,

All to me that is dear.

When death parts us someday,

As I know that it will,

One heart will be broken,

But I will love you still.
