To My Husband
who is amazing because
he is a go-getter with big plans
he is the hardest worker I know
because he comes home and
takes the baby, and takes out the recycling
and waters the garden, and does homework
and a million other things after work
because he is innovative and enthusiastic
about new ways to help others
about bringing people together
because he thinks on his feet
and uses those feet to peddle to work
because he loves to stay active
to travel, to see new places and meet new people
because he always sticks his neck out
and helps a friend or a stranger
without hesitation, because when
my family needs anything, he is right there
volunteering his time, his energy, his money
even when we haven’t a dime
because he sends me sweet messages
that brighten my day, and he knows
I need time away or to myself
and he holds my hand when I cry
and he still makes me laugh and smile
because he is fully committed to me and
our beautiful child, because when I see him
with her and the light in both of their eyes
it fills my heart with such happiness
it might burst, because i love my husband
because he loves me, this is for my husband
who is amazing in so many ways
these are just a few
