My Husband

You are my strength when the world weighs me down.
I know that I can count on you to be there tomorrow.
When I am afraid you offer courage I can borrow.
Days I feel frumpy you treat me like I wear a crown.

You made me a mother to 4 beautiful babies.
Always leading, teaching, sharing your heart.
Never needing to wait for someone else to start.
Encouraging me though a bad case of the maybes.

You carry yourself with the aura of a king.
There to guide me when I feel lost without hope.
Helping me learn from frustrations and to cope.
Yet still act so young pushing children on a swing.

My dear you fill my life with warmth and passion.
Taking me to new heights beyond the ordinary.
Letting me see that my doubts are imaginary.
Walking with me even when I am out of fashion.

Now I cannot remember a time without you.
These first six years we've been together
Are just the beginning of our forever
Because finally I trust what I feel is true.
