Poem
As I lay down a year and stand at the threshold of another
I look back at an eventful year
It had ups and downs but I am grateful you were always there
Never let go, never left me alone
You were always by my side

When did it all start, this love that has grown deep within our hearts
In that little thrill in my heart when years ago I heard your voice?
Or gazed into your deep dark eyes, fixed on mine, taking me to paradise?
Or the sweet tingling when our hands first touched as you passed a pen?

Those were the seeds of passion, fuelled by infatuation
As in young hearts seeds of love grew into a sturdy tree
Withstanding storms, gales and the sun's sometimes searing rays
Through it all, you stood by my side
Never letting go, never leaving me alone
Always there, by my side, you never let go, and our love got to grow

Love was what you did every day
Getting me an apple shake to satisfy my pregnancy cravings
If I changed my mind, going for mango shake never complaining
Holding vigil by my bedside through those long hours to our daughter's first cry
Cradling me on your chest, waking me gently when I slept in the middle of feeding the baby
Standing by my side, keeping me strong
Helping me keep going on

Love was you packing my suitcase when we went on holidays
Love was you letting me sleep in on Saturdays
Love was you cooking in the weekend, stocking the fridge when I had no clue what to do in a kitchen
Love was you holding my hand, swirling me to a funky tune, with the look that was still smitten
Love was you scratching my back when it itched where I couldn't reach
Love was you rubbing balm on my forehead when my head was splitting and I couldn't sleep

Love was you, doing geography and science with our little girl
Love was you learning Latin, playing soccer or hockey with our little boy
Love was the surgeon reading psychiatry, doing mock exams with me
Love was you playing a tune on your violin when 'Kaplan and Saddock' drove me crazy

Love is you with your arms around me, speaking tenderly
Love is you holding me close, swinging me in the air playfully
When I am well over forty, as though I was still twenty-three
Love has been you wiping my tears when I cried what I couldn't speak
Love has been you when you held my hand when life seemed to go wrong
Helping me stand, making me feel strong

I am so grateful I am blessed with you as I enter another year
I pray I might be to you what you have been to me
I love you, thank you for loving me
