The Way...

The way your pajama bottoms don’t match the tops The way you exercise to ensure ‘proper fitting pants’ The way our dogs wait for you to walk The way our kids tease you just to hear you laugh The way you keep on the move so you don’t fall asleep The way you do things for all of us, unasked The way you take time to listen to a friend The way you persevere when life sometimes makes you weary It’s all this and more that keep me …… well, it’s just your way

This would be one terrific entry for the "I Love You Because..." contest, Shawn. You have a deep love for your partner and it comes through in everything she does, everything she is. We should all be blessed to have a love so strong. Happy Valentine's Day to you! Best Wishes, Carolyn
