writers workshop: to my love on a thursday

my one and only

i could have waited for a holiday

with roses, champagne, over-priced cards

but my love, my feelings for you

don’t keep track of the days, but rather

go on and on and on and on in

a comfortable rythmn of foreveruntildeath

do us part. so let me take this moment

(there are never enough of them)

to remind you and only you (oh and also them)

that you are my one true love

the only one fit for the mundane and the magnificent

moments of our daily lives. you

the bringer of morning coffees and the

always helping hand; you do more than

i could ever ask and even when i don’t remember

to say thank you verbally, i hope you know

i think it every day. and that even when my

words are not always good at saying the right things

when it’s the right time, my heart

never stops thanking you and thanking

god that you are mine. so please know that

even though i was prompted to write this

for a silly meme that my feelings for you

are not silly at all but truly truly true.

(okay maybe they are a little bit silly, but

come on – this is ME we’re talking about).

i love you!

    Nice. I can never right serious sounding poetry like this. I’m jealous!

    I love that every time you write of Dan you write in such glowing terms. Way better than the chocolate my Hubby is getting.

    Such a sweet post. I hope your DH reads this 🙂 I’m with you – I’d rather have the moments of our every day lives than celebrating one day out of the year.

    Awww…you are right. It is so important to tell them how important they are to us and how much we love them even on days without chocolate and hearts and roses.

    (In fact, I would rather my money count elsewhere on another day)!
