I Love Us…..

We promised we weren’t going to buy each other anything because… well, we agree that Valentine’s day is just another day… We try to show each other love all year long… we made plans, we got the kids small things to show them love. However, I still feel bad not doing the social norms like buying chocolates and roses or writing poems and going to a fancy-dressed dinner…

So these words are my roses and these thoughts are my chocolate….

I hope they are enough to fill that beautiful heart until next year when we inevitably say we won’t celebrate again….



Us

We wake up in the morning and I begin to peel you off…

cuddling all night as if you are afraid you won’t have enough time…

Even though I leave now and then, it doesn’t mean I enjoy being gone…

I step out the door and I know it’s all for the best…

Immediately I am wishing to get back to that bed…

Our Circus


We manage the kids like a circus of warmth. Mom tames the girls’ wild lion manes with her soothing demeanor, dad shines the boys’ teeth getting them ready for battle…

We gather them into the carriage and they’re off into the wild…

We pray we taught them enough to keep them safe … to keep them right…
We sit at home counting down the time until we receive them again…

We talk strategy and style… what works and what doesn’t. How can we get them to perform at the highest of levels?

We are the ring leaders of this amazing family circus…

You are the breeze that keeps them all at ease, and I am the fire that keep them on the move…
We are a team.

Without you, there is no me…

Mission Complete

You gave me your life, and I’ll forever repay it in happiness. With every bone and cell in my body, I’ll always be dedicated to our family.
 You have my soul at your fingertips. I am your puppet … on strings and at your beckoned call, not a slave to your wishes but a partner in crime.
 You stole what was left of a heart and filled it with fire.
 I’ve felt alive again and have only one mission left in life: YOU

My Balance

Your kisses calm my soul…

Your touch keeps me grounded…

Your voice soothes my nerves…

Your love fuels the fire…

P.S. Thank you for everything you are definitely a gift from heaven.

You better pick out your nicest dress.

Dinner is at 7 😉
