Miles to Go

No one ever truly gave us a road map. 
We’ve borrowed bits and pieces from others but a lot of it we’ve figured out on our own. I suppose we are and continue to me an amalgamation of all the texts, those late late night calls early on, some shouting matches, tears, the comfortable silences, the hand holding in the car on long drives, the quick pecks before jetting off to work, the longing kisses in the warm Florida rain, the times we’ve played telephone with the kids and all those hearty laughs. 
That’s the path we’ve paved for ourselves indeed and still we know there’s many miles left to go before we forever fall asleep.

To My Wife Before Valentine’s Day

I remember the first time I saw you walking into that college history class.

Looked forward to our first real date on the beach.
Our first kiss redefined what I would ever want in a pair of lips.
Volts of electricity shot up my back when you first said those “three” words.
Elated when you said yes and agreed to be my wife.

Yelled it from the rooftops each time you told me we’d have our babies.
Only think of our family when the challenges of life manifest.
Unwavering in my belief that there is so much good to come for us.

I LOVE YOU!
