When

When he plays with Gwen after working all night to give me a little extra sleep,

When he writes a poem for me on our "to-do" board,

When he makes me a sundae and brings it upstairs for me at midnight,

When he eagerly works overtimes to provide extra income for us,

When he never lets me get away with mouthing off to him in front of Gwen,

When plays with my hair for hours to help me fall asleep,

When we argue and he lets me win even though we both know he is right,

When he jumps in the car just to fill up on gas before I leave on errands,

When he takes care of all the grocery shopping because I'm to dizzy,

When he doesn't mention my lack of a hairstyle or clothing style,

When he says nighttime prayers with his daughter as she falls asleep,

When he jumps up immediately when she wakes up crying during the night,

When he does all that and so much more, I thank the Lord for my husband and pray I can be a better wife who deserves him.

"I love my sassy, I love by bear,
Some like to travel, but I don't care
I'll spend my days with lady and bear.
Some days it gets hard; I don't know what to do,
But I know it's worth it, my lady and boo!"
