For my Husband

Through all of the craziness that is pregnancy, I have been incredibly blessed to have Colin. A few weeks ago we celebrated four years of being together and I am constantly reminded by him of how amazing he is. Today when I should have been working I was looking at some old pictures, and this poem I wrote for our wedding day came up. It is as meaningful now as it was one year and six months ago. I love you baby!

They came from opposite worlds,
But were blessed with the same values.
His family is a tree, hers an orchard.
Separately, they were taught that love is life,
That family is fundamental.

She was cynical about matters of the heart,
He was enjoying a new life and location.
Neither wanted love or a relationship
And still, their hearts found each other,
Through a very well placed elbow.

They spent an evening in conversation
And their hearts began to beat in unison.
They began their dance in the mountains,
And beside a glistening lake love ignited,
Began to grow, and bonded family and friends.

They were slightly guarded and both fearful
They tried to trick their hearts,
And manipulate away from love,
But the bond overwhelmed them,
They gave in, and their love grew stronger.

In celebration they took a trip,
To the lake shore where their love first began
He asked that she be with him forever
She agreed before he completed the thought,
And again their love grew.

Together they celebrate their love today,
With family and friends to support them.
With all the joy imaginable,
They share their belief that love is life,
And begin their new foundation.
