thanks for your unconditional love, true
dedication and respect.
How often I have neglected to
thank you for being a dedicated
wife and mother.
For you have been my friend, my lover,
the backbone of my existence for
all these years.
Roses, candy, decorated cakes,
flamboyant parties, gifts of diamonds
and rubies, traveling to an isolated
island with beautiful flowers and perfume.
This would seem like the perfect gift to
give someone as special as you. Because I
know you so well, you would prefer to continue
seeing the gleam in my eyes every time I come
home from work.
You would prefer the soft touches and
agreeable glances that we give each other
as we sit at the table having breakfast
and snacks.
You would prefer that we continue to
see in each other all that's required
to sustain this blessed union.
Knowing all of this, you are still
deserving of all the gifts.
For you are a very special Valentine,
because you are mine.
