So being dirt poor this valentines day, I decided to write my wife a poem. At least once a year I do this. So just curious of your thoughts. Thank you.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember? I do.
I remember the first time I saw your face.
I remember the first time I held your hand.
I remember the first time I held you close as we danced.
I remember the first time I smelled your hair.
I remember the first time we kissed.
I remember the first time we made love.

Do you remember? I do

I was so alone, not just in my life but in my soul.
I was so scared, not of anything physical but of never knowing love
I was so desperate, not to be afraid of trying.

Do you remember? I do.

That bright spring day in may, sunlight wrapping around you.
That for a moment, you literally took my breath away.
That through it all you wouldn’t cry, despite my tears of joy.
That first dance as husband and wife.
That first night spent talking more than anything else.

Do you remember? I do.

The first time I saw you holding Evan awash in the glow from the tv.
The first time I watched you put him to sleep so gently.
The first time I was awed by your insight into his unspoken world.
The first time we cried together when he was sick and we didn’t know what to do.

These memories are not just part of my life.
They are part of my soul, of my very existence.
I can never forget these things anymore than I can forget to breathe, or to eat.
You were, and always will be the most beautiful person I’ve ever met.

I remember the first time I fell in love with you.
I do that every morning.
I do that every evening.
I love you.

Pendragon;

You speak from your heart and that is always a good thing.
This to me and probably to your wife means more then any gift you could give her other then the birth of your child.
Keep sharing these memories and words with your wife.
She is a very lucky lady and I can see the love you feel for her.
You did good.
Valentines day is not always about the gifts it is more about how you make each other feel.
For me stuff like this means more that any bought gift could ever mean.
My hat is off to you for sharing this.

Very nice Pendragon. Your wife is a lucky woman. :)

Pendragon,
Thats beautiful

Well done. Certainly better than a box of chocolates.

aww

Thank you all for your kind words. Now we'll just have to wait and see what she thinks.

Very nice Pendragon. You should get a tear or two out of her with that. Seriously...hope she loves it.

Quite a fortunate woman to have a man such as you...it's wonderful to see a man so in love with his wife. What a wonderful gift she received.:thumbs:

Fantastic read, Pend. No woman can resist a poem written straight from the heart.
