Dear John,

I didn't love you when we got married,
But I took the vows anyway.
God said it was what I should do-
just have a little faith in you,
I'd love you for real one day.

I had more faith in God than I did
in you and what our marriage was,
and how I tested and pushed you down-
I guess to see if you'd stick around;
yeah, stupid is as stupid does.

I can't tell you the exact day
that I realized God was right;
when I was born, He had the plan
I'd fall in love with a wonderful man,
and I'm glad I gave up the fight.

See, I've been fighting God for years,
throwing tantrums and bawling tears,
but I always ended up where I was supposed to be,
and I'm so glad you're walking the path with me.

I love you more than you could understand,
for yesterday, for today, for tomorrow, and...

forever,
Dixie

clearly from the heart Dixie. I almost feel as if it's so private I shouldn't read it and yet, I did.

Funny when we realize what we wish for has been right in front of us from the start.

I'm glad you are happy and finding you peace, Dixie gal~

I love how it has a little story, and it flows really nicely. I also love how you put it into a letter form. Great job
