So it's my wife's birthday next week. Since i am a little strapped for cash to get her a nice gift, I thought I would do something that I have never done before and write her some words from my heart. I guess like most people do as they get older, she is depressed about it.

Nicole, even if your age
says your one year older,
don't believe it for a minute
your more beautiful than ever before,
I see it each time you walk through the door.

Hair is glowing like the sun
out and about or sitting on the couch
with you, I always have fun.
The touch of your fingers against my skin,
feels like silk, I don't know where to begin.

You sometimes sacrifice to
help others, treating them
like a sister or brother.
Your love for life and what's around
is inspiration for me
like nothing I've found.

Sometimes I don't know where I stand
but the love we share
keeps my feet planted in the sand.
Your smile never fails
to brighten my day
no matter how I'm feeling
my blues just fade away.

I don't have the money
to buy expensive gifts
but with you, it doesn't matter.
I love the way you
make me feel,
saying just relax, it's no big deal.

So on your birthday
even though ther won't be a
nice gift or fancy dinner,
I give you all my love from within.

Turn that frown upside down
lets enjoy the love we have found.

Well? Too cheesy? I don't write much and have a hard time expressing my feeling but this is what came out when I sat down to try and write her something.

Oh well, enjoy! Or not! LOL!

    As long as it comes from the heart, she will know.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Personally I have a small issue with the first paragraph, cause it sorta sounds like growing older and becoming more beautiful can't happen at the same time. I'm sure that extra year of the good life with you is one of the reasons she is more beautiful than ever.

    But that's just naggin'. I know lots of girls who would melt at the spot :D

    Thanks for sharing this. I think it's more precious than any store brought gift and money spent on a dinner.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
