A Poem for Love

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.


I love thee to the depth and breadth and height...
Because you made me chocolate chip pancakes with turkey bacon to my delight.


I love thee for the roses, beautiful in red and pink...


I love you because you love me even though I left a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink.

I love you so I gave you raspberry kisses in the shape of a heart...

And you let me eat like half of them- I know we'll never part.


But mostly I love you just because of who you are...
This life we live is love to me and I pray you're never far.


The way you live, the sacrifices made,
The honesty, patience, through it all you've remained...

Close to me and I ever grateful you're mine.

So love me, my love, and I'll love you forever 'til we die.


Happy Valentine's Day!

Mine would say,

Because you deep cleaned the bathroom for me as my Valentine's present....and then slept on the couches with me when I thought our bedroom smelled too much like cleanser!!!
