I Love You

We took a vow,
"for better or for worse."
Your love has been there,
always loving me.
We said "for richer or for poorer,"
we have known what it is to have nothing and work very hard.
We agreed to both "in sickness and in health,"
unfortunately we have known sickness too well.
I love you,
just three little words.
Three little words,
coming from me to you.

Thanks for your note. Glad you like my loving write. Sickness is no fun. We have had a lot of it over the years. Guess that is part of life. We have known some that ran when this happens. So sad. Be healthy/happy in your home. Have a great/blessed autumn day.............................

Those three little words are like giant leaps when love is true! Too many people too glib with these words. I LOVE YOU must be a heartfelt emotive feeling that burns like a fire in your soul - you felt it with your husband, as I did with mine. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
