When I Say I Love My Husband

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm not bragging of marriage success
I'm silently saying we've been punned
Yet he stood just to effloresce.

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm not shouting he's strong
I'm whispering he has his weakness
And praying for strength from God.

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm not trying to say he's perfect
His flaws are all too visible
But I believe he's worth my all.

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm not saying he doesn't hurt
I have my share of heartache
But he's not such a malapert.

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm not claiming I know him all
I always submit to the unknown 
Asking humbly to be taught.

When I say "I love my husband"
I don't wish to gladden his heart
Just saying no matter the tide
I'll always be by his side.

When I say "I love my husband"
I'm saying that in my garden
He's the only seed I've got
From this flower called love.

When I say "I love my husband"
I speak not with human pride
He's the reason for my glide
I hope you understand why.

It's been 365'/4 day already
And I'm still loving you deeply
I will celebrate this love daily
For I know you love me too.

                                                      Happy
                                                 Anniversary.
                                                 31:05:2015.
