My love

  So I decided to take a small break from my short story about Layne and post a poem that I wrote for my husband for his birthday. But I ran into a snag or two so here are four poems (good or bad), dedicate to my sweet love James. Happy birthday love.

I tried this basic type of poem...

Everything to me

I was only seventeen,

You were all I ever wanted.

Already in love I fell deeper,

Now you're all I ever needed.

You are everything to me.

The light in my life,

The warmth in the cold.

You made me your wife.

You are a great husband,

And the best father.

You keep me happy,

Also our sons and daughters.

For the whole of time,

I'm yours, you are mine.

                                              I.L.

But I wasn't sure if it was right so I tried something a little different...

True Love

before you who was I

I didn't know true Love

until I fell for You

you're my everything James

I couldn't be happy without You

so important, you Are

the only one I love, The

truest love, the Best

love, so blessed you're my Husband,

my true love, you're My

other half of my Soul

you're my best friend, Mate.

you make me so Happy

have a great Birthday!

                                           I.L.

Still unsure I thought short and sweet might try a simple haiku...

Forever Love

Hand in hand my love

And together  forever

I'll always love you

                                   I.L.

A final attempt to write perfect words for this perfect (to me) man...

Just right

I tried to write you a poem,

But nothing was quite right.

They were all ho hum,

Everything off a slight.

I tried words that rhyme,

Even tried a haiku.

Tried with precise time,

But no words would ever do.

After time I realized,

Words cannot express.

They would only downsize

My love without finesse.

No one can truly know,

How you make my world go 'round

I can only show,

that my true love's found.

To my eternal love,

My blessing from above.

                                    I love you.

                                                 I.L.

I love you James, Happy birthday.
