This is one of my favorites.

Until the Demise of Then

You might not know that I love you
if I don't say it once or twice a year
But I do anyhow more than I say so
Even though it's what you want to hear

That you care for me in those little things
you do asking not for thanks or glory
But patiently go about doing small chores
while listening to my uninteresting story

Would I bedeck you with jewels on rings
or take you to places of beautiful views
I'm glad that you are happy to stay with me
and say that I'm the man that you'd choose

It's a good thing that you don't require a trip
or fur or heavy gold necklace 'round your neck
Since I haven't the money now nor is it likely
to fall into my hands by fortune's misstep

All I have are the words that I can write
and say to you under guise of my pen
I love you today and into tomorrow too
forever from now until the demise of then

"I love you today and into tomorrow too
forever from now until the demise of then"

The one to whom these words are penned should surely cherish them...nice write
