Did I ever tell you?

Did I ever tell you
that I love you
early in the morning
when you kiss me softly goodbye?
when you prolong leaving for one last hug?

Did I ever tell you
that I love the way that
when I call you at any time of day you listen and pay attention to my thoughts?

Did I ever tell you
that I love you
at noon
when you make time in your day to come home for lunch?
when you encourage me in my day of mothering with your face of calm?

Did I ever tell you
that I love you
in the evening
when you excitedly arrive home even after a long day?
when you still have the energy after that long day to be our two girl's Daddy?

Did I ever tell you
that I love you
late at night
when you share your bowl of ice cream with me?
when you whisper sweet I love you's and cuddle close?

Did I ever tell you
that I love the way you are
a man,
a father,
a lover?

Did I ever tell you
that I love you?
I do,
I do,
I do.

Happy 4 years of marriage.
I love you Troy.
