A poem I wrote for my husband a few Valentines day ago

Happy Valentine's day guys.
I am taking my hubby to a poetry reading and I am going to read this to him
Anniversary, Christmas, Valentines, Mother and birthdays
Those are the times a woman needs to see her man say I love you with a trinket.
Even if she don’t say it out loud, you can best believe that she is thinking it.

When he came along I thought my love life was over
But it had just begun
No one could have told me that he was the one

I was torn up, down, and love for me would never be found
He came along and showed me I was wrong, that I could still love and be loved
Hard and strong

It started with a weekend in paradise
That turned into 7 days
We laughed, we loved in so many ways

I know he recognizes my labors of love,
When I wash his drawers and into a clean bed he falls
When he comes home, his food is on the stove

Anniversary, Christmas, Valentines, Mother and birthdays
I can’t really *** when he forgets
Because on every other day, he shows me love in his own way

When we turned on the heat or the water
My beautiful children knew they had a responsible father
When it rains, I don’t get wet, because over my head a roof he has set
He pays for literary expense, even when it doesn’t make no dollars or sense

Anniversary, Christmas, Valentines, Mother and birthdays
It’s all the days in between, that he shows me I’m his Queen
Though I had to beg and plead for him to be here tonight in that seat.
Our love, after twenty five years, remains steadfast and sweet

I Love you
