I dream a dream that is not too deep,
And though I struggle, I do sleep.
My thoughts are running rapid; wild
I haven't in a long time, seen you smile
Your heart is torn and so is mine
I can only hope they will mend with time
It is unfair- life rarely is not
But know this much: You will ne'er be forgot
You are my heart, my life
Most of all: my wife
It is my duty to protect you
My mission to uphold you
And my honor to love you
I write this on a cold winter's night,
Your are at the office late- that is always a fright
I know that soon you will be in my arms,
But knowing you're safe is helpful- it calms
The moon is quite large,
but not yet full
I hope on night's alone, my blanket holds you
Though not my arms, a warm wool
I ne'er want to leave you- I want to stay right here
but I will always come back- ne'er fear
it is our first moon together- it will be difficult at best
but allow me to place your weary mind at rest
if you close your eyes,
you will know I am there
out the window,
you surely may stare
I know it is hard,
but my heart you do keep
and I pray on this eve,
that you will soon dream a dreamless sleep
without me or not is not the issue
don't cry, my love- there is no need for a tissue
an affliction? Maybe, but not cured with a drug
I will return to this hearth; curl up on this rug
you will mend me and hold me and remind me I'm alive
and it is now that I realize on your love,
I do thrive.
