February 14th

Too many people never get a chance to see
Love in their life.
I am blessed to live in it through the respect that you have for me and others.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Joy in their life.
I am blessed to see it in the crinkles around your eyes.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Peace in their life.
I am blessed to be hugged by it when your arms are around me.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Patience in their life.
I am blessed to bask in it through your quiet waiting while those around you spin for answers.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Kindness in their life.
I am blessed to feel it in the gentle touch of your powerful hands.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Goodness in their life.
I am blessed to swim in it when your eyes fill with tears of compassion.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Faithfulness in their life.
I am blessed to stand proud next to your integrity to others and their needs.

Too many people never get a chance to see
Meekness in their life.
I am blessed by your humility to let others "go first."

Too many people never get a chance to see
Self-control in their life.
I am blessed to experience your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness and meekness when it's so easy to be the opposite.

I could not ask for a more amazing husband to share my life with.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
