Enough

Through age and youth, you are mine.
Through beauty and deterioration, I love you.
In reality and my sweetest dream, you are there.
At the poorest time and in the greatest of wealth.....
     You stand by my side, 
      As you are my strength.

In the weakest of health, through the birth of our unborn, you 
will feel my pain...my joy...my ecstasy.

That I know this, is enough.
That you know this now, but are afraid, is what makes you a man.
Because you have always loved me...just as I am,
Is what makes us forever.
