Loving You

 

I love you...

Three little words...

When expressed in lower case

it can be a degree of friendship

though too often it's used 

as a throwaway line

from those of embellishment minds

to exaggerate and accelerate

mere physical needs...

I LOVE YOU...

This upper case declaration

is the real deal affirmation

of feelings with both depth and passion...

I LOVE YOU...

The ultimate long term commitment...

Forever and for all eternity...

I LOVE YOU...

Often requires sacrifice and work...

The journey is not always smooth

but when you value the happiness

of the person you ride with 

more than your own

the trip is a joy rather than a task...

I LOVE YOU...

Begins and ends with RESPECT...

The core requirement of an equal

and divine partnership...

I LOVE YOU...

All of our lives we search for it...

These three enormous words

make all the difference...

I LOVE YOU...

I found it when I married you

three decades ago this very day...

I LOVE YOU...
