Dedicated To Her

There is a reason for every word
She took my heart for herself
and hid it from the rest of the world
She has me to herself
"Love" seems to be the word
that has her thinking about me rather than herself
"Husband" is probably the word
that needs a wife, that's herself
There is no one like her in the world
Around me, she becomes herself
"Excited" is most likely not the word
that I should be using and she's aware herself
Photocopy my heart and hand it to the rest of the world
All you see before you, she did it herself
I will love her forever that's my word
Let the actions speak and you'll decide for yourself
"Blessing" is absolutely the word
God said it, yeah I remember, he said it himself
She said she's in love with me and that's her word
I believe her cause she said it herself
"Beautiful" is completely the word
that I should use to describe her inner self
There is no category for her beauty in the world
Gorgeously sexy, she knows that herself
You furiously took the title from women all over the world
and I want you explicitly to myself
"Intellectual", that is scientifically the word
to emphasise Doctor.......ohh I forgot she usually keeps that to herself
"Freak", Shhhhh that is secretly a word
that I rather don't elaborate on and keep it to myself
She makes me laugh just by using one word
Am I selfish for keeping her to myself?
Keep these words as one word
This bond is "Lifetime", that's what we say to ourselves
I am a husband to this woman, tell the world
and tell them nothing else, the rest I keep to myself

She is the word
and she probably wouldn't have thought that she is the reason herself

There is a reason for every word

My wife is returning for a break from cancer treatment and this beautiful poem will form part of my welcome home celebration. It says everything and then adds a little more. Thank you for writing it.
