I am not the only writer in the family. My sweetie wrote this for me for my valentine’s gift.

I know life isn’t exactly how you would have imagined.

But we have more love than most can even imagine.

This winter has stayed cold,

and despite the-heat-of-the-moment,

we never treat each other as though we are ready to fold.

We are learning about grace,

and I will love you all the way until I see my King’s face.

I know the “marm” is gettin’ old.

Because it has been so cold,

we haven’t been able to go “toudise”

and you’d be happy with some sun and sand that

would make you think were in “wow-dise”.

That will come soon enough,

so hold on and be real tough.

You’re a mama of three boys

and that brings more than the average amount of joys.

From Izzy Lee

talkin’ non stop

like a buzzing bumblebee.

And how about ol’ “Saleb”

with his deep dimples

reminds us that life is fun

even if it is anything but simple.

And then there’s Nathan,

 a.k.a Nate Dogg.

It’s kinda sad ‘cause his whole life

has been a fog.

Busy, busy, busy,

that describes you and me.

Maybe we should just go ahead

and add a little “Sissy”.

Anyway, for richer and poorer,

Be my valentine.

Your hubby will always be the glass

that holds your wine.

I love you baby with all that I am.
