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.
