From Him To Her - 'A True Love Story'
*This is a letter and poem from my husband. No, he is no poet; he is not anyone famous. He is the love of my life who adores me. Did you know that goes on Poetry Soup daily to see if I've written anything? And yes, he reads every single one of my poems...because he cares. I know this is probably not what the contest is supposed to be about, but I thought it would be refreshing read of a deep love that "he has for her", just like the contest description calls for.*
"Baby,
There are times when I am watching you and you don’t notice. It is so hard for me to explain the love I feel for you. I know there are husbands out there that love, but not like I love you. The first time I looked in your beautiful eyes, I knew I would fall in love with you and marry you. I know it is hard to believe, but it is 110% true. I play that moment in my head time and time again. I can see it clearly today, exactly like the day it happened. Those eyes have never changed. I still get chills when I look at them today. All I have ever wanted I have today…"
Then he wrote this for me:
"Take my hand and do not fear,
We have been by each other for all these years.
The climb is hard and the journey’s been long,
Together we stand and sing our song.
You have seen my good and bad,
But with you there is no time to be sad.
If I had to choose again, it would be only you,
People stare and say there are only just two.
No matter what has happened in our life,
It seems only you can free my strife.
Now here we are still holding each other,
Baby for me there is no other.
Thank you for making me your man,
It is because of you I am better than them.
Our book of love will show the way,
That the only true lovers are those who stay.
I will never leave your side,
I always knew forever you would be my bride.
I love you forever baby,
Love, Daddy"
