Because I Am Loved By You

The moon lights up the night,
The sun lights up the day,
You light up my fire,
In every single way;

The clouds give us rain,
The trees give us shade,
You give my life meaning,
Not a second of it would I trade;

A house puts a roof over our heads,
A car gets us where we need to go,
You give me security,
For that I love you so;

You can buy things at a store,
You can sell them there too,
When it comes to the one thing you can't buy "LOVE",
I'm the richest in the world because i'm loved by you,

I like your wording and feeling here, I feel much the same for my husband. Good work.

Clever the way you used everyday items to compare to your love. Good write. Kim
