Loving you these thirty-seven years
has instilled in me a great sense of
pride and urgency.
Being retired has it's place, but I miss rushing
home from work to tell you about my day. You
would listen with such intensity.
I felt as though nothing else matters
in my life at that moment as I
bared my soul to you.
I watch with intensity as your eyes lit
up with joy and unbridled happiness
when you would hear good news.
When my spirit was low, you immediately
sense the need to console me and take
me to a quiet place.
I admire your sense of dedication to family,
it is manifested in everything that you do.
I truly adore you.
Your love is manifested in the love you
show when you are preparing food,
or chastising our son.
It is manifested in the love you have
for all of your family, friends and those
who are less fortunate.
Above all, it is manifested in your
Christian faith that provides the strength
that guides, sustains and protects us.
