pearl + honey

You, who with long unruly hair
standing a foot taller than me
with a smile that melts and softens my heart

our fingers intertwine perfectly

You, who serves with kindness
and compassion
willing to sacrifice everything
making our family complete

You, who challenges me
and my beliefs of independence
who gently reminds me
we need each other

You, who encourages my heart
and mind and spirit to go and

reach places of love

i never thought possible

You, who always listen  to my big and wild ideas
never calling me a dreamer
but wholeheartedly believe in me
and push me even further 

You, who fills me
the strong branch, that protects and guides
who is grounded and rooted in love

not trying to find himself, but creating

You, who I call Husband
beloved, friend, and lover
who, is the song in my heart
and the light in my eyes

I love you Christopher, Happy 1 year anniversary.
