I Gently Say “I Love You”

I pull my bride ever so closely
and hold her ever so firmly,
as I gently say “I love you”.

I brush my bride’s skin so smooth
and I gaze into her eyes of blue,
as I gently say “I love you”.

I touch my bride upon her cheek
to let her know what I seek,
as I gently say “I love you”.

I kiss my bride’s sweet full lips
and taste all of her tenderness,
as I gently say “I love you”.

I stroke my bride upon her breast
and hold her tightly to my chest,
as I gently say “I love you”.

I caress my bride as we’re descending.
She knows the message I am sending,
as I gently say “I love you”.

Melton...this is beautiful...quite a marriage of words here. I could use a dose of that--sighs and applause.

*Deep sighs, I am swooning over here!*  This is an absolutely beautiful dedication to your bride and what makes it even more beautiful is the fact that you are still so much in love with her after 30 years, you're a breath of fresh air - we need more men like you.  I wish you the best!  Have you shown this to your wife yet? Expect some happy tears!

"I Gently Say “I Love You""

I gracefully accept your love. Over thirty years ago I told you, I'd love you,              "Forever and a Day."
Nothing has changed, except it grows sweeter with each passing year!
Your poem has made my day and my life!!
Love you, "Forever and a Day"

Had to come back to read this one, and now the tears are just pouring down my face...
hugs to you two...this is touching.
