I wrote this poem to commemorate your special day.
I love you for all the days of my life
For all the days I stare at you
And all the nights I watch you sleep
And when you come through that door
Or when you say sorry
As you see the tears glistening in my eyes
I love you when I hear our future plans
Or when I catch you tenderly touching our dogs
I love you when you ask our children what else they need
Like money grows on trees
Or when you look so tired when you come to bed
And the guilt eats me when I know I can be horrid
I love you for all the days of my life
When you insist you carry everything and I’m empty handed
Or when I say cut your hair short
When I know you want to grow it long
I love you for all the days of my life
Happy Birthday, my love, I love you, to the moon and back.
Forever yours, xoxo
