To My Husband
for Valentine's Day



Fate was a mutual friend that night
But it was Destiny that we finally meet
No, it wasn't Love at first site
I just asked "could I have a seat?"



Our hearts couldn't open or even say a word
They were hidden behind brick walls of pain
All we could do was try and move forward...
We had nothing to loose but everything to gain



Neither of us could be boastful or strong
Life had dealt us a lot of grief
We started the process of healing before long
Much to each others heartfelt relief



So scared was I, so petrified to lose
I pushed and shoved, my defenses on high
You just sat calmly, holding me close
You proved that a Man is not afraid to cry



With all we have been through
Our rings signify the binding ties
Coming so very far, from hell that bound us, too...
My heaven's light shining in your eyes



You are my earth that binds me
You are the wings that set me free
You've shown me things I never believed
That Love for us was meant to be



I write this for you, my beloved Drew
This special song thats in my heart.
For I will sing, content or blue
Until the words and breath from me do part.



Happy Valentine's Day to You, My Love

Your Lady, Rita
