To My Husband

Before you, love was just a word,
A whisper in a song I’d heard.
A fragile thing, I couldn’t grasp,
A fleeting moment, meant to pass.

But then you came, a steady light,
And chased away the lonely night.
You showed me love, so pure and true,
A constant, gentle, me and you.

No grand gestures, just quiet grace,
A loving look upon your face.
A hand to hold, a shoulder near,
Dispelling every doubt and fear.

You see the best in who I am,
And love me, flaws and all, I am.
You lift me up when I am down,
And paint my world in colors known.

You are my rock, my safe harbor,
The one I’ll love forever after.
With you, I know what love can be,
A precious gift, eternally.

So thank you, love, for all you are,
My shining star, my guiding star.
You showed me love, in every way,
And brighten up my every day.
