When dawn breaks
Scattering the darkness of our room
And a new day's light touches your face,
I look at you,
Peaceful,
Sleeping,
And I thank God for allowing us to walk through this life
As man and wife.

Though after so many years of sharing
I do not completely understand you;
Your soul,
Your inner being
Must be beautiful as so much gentleness,
Warmth and kindness
Radiates from you.

Many times I find it disturbing
That you are unable
To verbally express your love to me,
But then
It is only my own selfishness that creates this conflict.
You show your love to me
Many times over
In the way that you constantly pamper me.

Regardless of the changing circumstances
With each new day,
Your love seems always there
Stronger than yesterday,
Less than tomorrow.
I thought I always knew love
But realize now that before I met you I had none.
You taught me love.

To say, "I love you"
Does not do justice to what I feel.
My love for you is unspeakable,
It is feeling that has no adequate words to describe it.
You fill me with more love
Than you will ever know.

When each day is over
And in the darkness of our room we lay
Tired,
In our bed.
I touch your hair, your cheek,
I feel the warmth of not just a body,
But of a soul.
I close my eyes to the world
And I thank God for allowing us to walk through this life
As man and wife.
