Happy Birthday My Love

My happiest moments

are when I am

out on the town

with you

And by town

I mean down town

This house is fine for now

and we are happier than most

even at our worst

Nothing else should matter

not going to get caught up

in what everyone else thinks

I am done trying to please

Happy Birthday my love ♥

it's your day

nobody else s

30 is here

and we will be alright.

SAFE

Safe in the arms

of the man

who would never leave me

by choice

Happy knowing he loves me

I feel cherished

comforted

by him

4 years ago we locked lips

after taking vows

3 years ago we moved

and had a beautiful

and challenging adventure

1 year ago

we bought our first home

and dog

I am safe here

no matter how many

past disasters creep up on me

I will hold onto

my safety

my love

Because no other

man has loved me

the way he has

a devotion that only

a true man can give

-May 2011

"Marriage has in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it has more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."
-Bishop Jeremy Taylor

The Storm

Pouring on us
Repeatedly
We are soaked
Maybe instead of drowning
Frantically
We need to wait
For the storm
To pass
For the skies to lift

If you hold me
I will hold you
Tired of feeling overwhelmed
Maybe it is ok
To be helpless
To know we cannot
Control everything

We need to stand by each other
To gain strength
We can be each other’s shelter
While the storm passes
While the skies lift
Together we can make it through
Repeatedly
