To My Love, My Best Friend, My Wife

On this, our "other" anniversary, I thought I would post a poem Tami found and sent to me a while back:

I Love You

I love you with a permanence
That endures the passing years.
I love you with a joyfulness
That subdues all doubts and fears.
I love you with an honesty
That was born within my heart.
I love you with the calm belief
That we will never part.
I love you with a confidence
No earthly force can sever.
I love you with the certainty
That I'll cherish you forever.
I love you with the humbleness
Of one who has been blessed.
I love you with the reverence
Of all that word suggests.
I love you with a fervor
That time cannot reverse.
I love you with the truest love
That poets put to verse.

- J.E. Deegan -

Tami, thank you for falling in love with me, for marrying me, and for sustaining me. I love you!

Always and forever,
Shawn
