" I Do"

You're the best man
I've ever known,
and in my heart
for you love's grown.

Although it took
sometime to see,
the love you have
overwhelms me.

It was the Lord,
not just mere fate,
that brought me here
not moments late.

Why you love me
is hard to tell
when oft I'm mad
and sometimes yell.

Patient virtue
you have so much,
with loving hands
you soothe and touch.

Broken hearted
yet on the mend.
Gifts of value,
sent without end.

A gentleman,
opening doors,
getting a drink,
saying "I'm your's"

Always a man
ready to love,
unselfishly,
sent from above.

You'd give the world
to me, I know.
I'll follow you,
but take me slow.

You see I'm scared
of being hurt.
I've had my heart
thrown in the dirt.

I'll give my love
to you alone
if you promise
to make me moan.

I want to lean
and cry on you
about the past
until it's through.

Then when I wake
to see your face
I'll breathe "husband"
my saving grace.

So hold on tight
it's a hard road
unless we share
each other's load.

"I do" love you
with all my heart
and pray to God
we'll never part.

    Ah, you're so fortunate. What a thoughtful thing to do, to tell Micheal, in such simply beautiful words, how important he is to you. I hope, one day, I can have that happiness.

    This was very appropriate for me to read
    I long for this
    (2nd verse I believe may have a word missing , it stumbles just slight ) but the love is felt , the strength is good it makes those who cry in pain for the one they love hold on even stronger knowing it could happen one day

    sometimes it is good to yell, we all get mad at times but that's okay as long as we can smile after the madness. a good poem. a good spiritual swerve that holds love in the wings.

      Individuality on "I Do"

      We definitely have our ups and downs. We're struggling now. So I'm spending time writing poetry to creatively vent.
