You asked me if this rhymes are real
and said you don't believe it
I told you I only write what I feel
and don't know how you don't see it
Why can't you see the you I do
as you stand before this mirror
These lines are your reflection true
tainted by love and made clearer
I see the beauty you see the beast
I see the girl of my dreams
I think the most of you and you the least
You think its spoiled, I think it's cream
I see an angel, a perfect soul
I see the one I love
I see half that makes me whole
I see a gift from above
So when you need a more perfect view
of just how special you are
Look to these rhymes, they'll remind you
that you needn't look to far
Everyday Love: The Plan
About 2 weeks after my marriage to Jill, I left her the first of what I now call, "everyday love notes". It read simply, "Sleep on my queen and when you dream, dream me to be your king." 19 and half years, and several hundred notes later, I still find a new reason everyday to fall in love with her and I am still searching for the right words to express it.
So for the next year I am writing an "everyday love note" everyday. Honest expression of a man's love for his wife and how daily that love looks, lives and lasts.
All of these I will post here , and all of these I will write and leave for Jill.
Year in Review
I have learned a lot over the past year while trying to write each of these poems on a daily basis. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be but neither is love. There are good poems, great poems and poems that still need work...just like boening in love, there are good days, great days and days that I could have put some more work into. And even though every line is true...just like true love, sometimes it is stretch or hope that gets you there.
I hope there has been something the eveyone can relate to and draw from...I don't think my experience is too far removed when you really think about why you love the one you do. Thanks for reading and loving. Most of all, thanks to Jill, for being the women who inspired this project and daily gives me reasons to love her. I love you.
