To my husband on our 49th Valentine's Day by Cheryl Merrick

You are my safe                     shelter from storms
 You are the quiet peace            of a desert landscape
You are the sun breaking               through the clouds
You're the comforting warmth                 of a fire on a rainy day
You are the dependability of               waves returning to the shore
You are the routines which                 provide structure to my life
You are "the listening ear" and the     "caring" heart which supports me
You are the sunshine of hope when my parade has been rained upon
You are the one who knows me better than anyone else and still loves me
You are "the listening ear" and the "caring" heart which supports me
You are the financial manager who makes sure the bills are paid
You are the person who makes sure the little details get done
You are the "Jack-of-all-trades" who keeps our home repaired
You are my best admirer and most enthusiastic cheerleader
You are the "voice of reason" keeping me tethered to reality
You are the implementer who makes my dreams come true
You are my associate in championing the true and good
You are the supplier of the qualities and skills that I lack
You are the "rocks" which fill the "holes" in my head
You are the rock which anchors me in the present
You are my "patron" supporting me as I create
You are the assurance which quiets my fears
You are the one I've chosen above all others
You are my advisor who keeps me balanced
You are my partner and best friend
You are my love and 
I am yours
