It's weird. We have only been together for 21 years but it feels like he has been in my life forever. I can barely remember my life without him.
I wrote a poem this morning in honor of my DH. Just felt like it and when the mood strikes I just do it.
Please skip if you don't want to read anything mushy. And fair warning. I write for me and it is very unsophisticated.
My true love and I met
21 years ago last fall
He came into my life
And he became my very soul
My sweet and darling dear
Funny, smart and handsome
The true love that we share
Exceptional and then some
Our true love shines each day
Always present and so strong
He makes everything OK
Even when it starts out wrong
Sharing all the todays
All our tomorrows too
Making it all worthwhile
In everything we do
Through the pain and loss
the tears and the sorrows
Through it all, good and bad
Always making me smile
He gives me all I need
And so very much more
The love he has for me
The sweet boy I adore
He has come into my world
Made me who I am
Each day with him unfolds
A rare and precious gem
He gives to me each moment
Unconditional true love
And the love I feel for him
Fills my heart so very much
He is the very best man
I could ever hope to know
Sharing our life hand in hand
Gives me the strength to go on
Life is filled with hardships
Also joyous sweet times
Life has highs and deep blips
But the sun returns to shine
So glad I said I do
Marrying my best friend
That fateful summer day
Then again in autumn
Amidst the snow that lay
On the ground so very cold
Our love so close so near
Knowing forever we would hold
Forever he is my dear
Passion so humble yet bold
How very much I love him
How happy to be his wife
My days forever changed
When he came into my life
Nothing would ever be the same
Though before my life was nice
It quickly changed to so bright
So much fresher and alive
Through the chaos and the fear
I know how much he loves me
I take comfort he is near
He knows I love him truly
He is my forever dear
My heart brims with love fully
Each storm in life we weather
Through wrinkles and grey hair
Lucky to grow old together
Each day with him to share
I take it all in awe
So many years flown past
Feeling grateful and sure
Our love will always last
Beautiful poem Missy! I'm sure you made your dh very happy today.
Missy, I’m so impressed with your poem. Your love for DH shines brightly through your words!
Met 19 years ago, we will celebrate 18 year anniversary in January. Strangely, this crazy time in the world has afforded us the time to connect again. With two teenagers (neither who have drivers licenses yet), we are often like two ships passing in the night, so while being home since 3/13 has been challenging, it’s also had its blessings.

Yes! 50 years (and several months) ago I married the handsome young Air Force Staff Sergeant who took me to my senior prom. He cashed in his government savings bonds to rent a tuxedo and buy me a beautiful corsage. We married a year after I graduated high school, while I was in college. We were too young to know that we were too young to get married. During pre marriage counseling, the base chaplain said it probably wouldn’t last. So glad we didn't listen to him. I can‘t imagine anyone else that I’d rather be in virus isolation with than my DH!
