dear husband

 
I want to thank you for always loving me true
inside the storms, you are a light
sadness comes, my tears are diamonds around your neck
you say I'm never more beautiful than when I cry
you bring me close and whisper you'll never face the world alone

sometimes I take you for granted
as the day to day overtakes us
it's in the still moments watching you in action I'm reminded
like a soldier, at his post, you are someone I can count on

fearlessly facing my demons, a warrior soul
it's in my quiet times you amaze me
you deserve a medal of honor
this sentiment would make you grow shy
you don't see yourself in this light

warrior spirit marching with me on this journey of discovery
beating back the dark that threatens to cross my soul
in the shadow of death I will fear no evil

I love you, dear husband
