My Knight In Shining Armor

For my husband, Mark.

On Valentine's Day, my husband

gave me a dozen pink roses and a card. I know it pained

him to spend the money on a card, so I was happy

just to get one. When I opened the card, tears began

rolling down my cheeks. He had written a little love

letter inside...This is what it said.

Joyce,

What I think of you cannot be put into words,

but here are a few.

My partner, my lover, my friend...When I wake up

in the morning, I am so glad you are there.

When I go to sleep, I couldn't do it if you were not

there. This may be a dumb, overused expression, but you

do complete me.

Love, Mark

He was a bit embarrassed and kept saying, "I know

it sounds stupid." He didn't realize, with just a

few words, he had managed to fill my heart with so much

love for him. I didn't think it was possible to

feel more love for this kind, gentle man. It was.

This is my love letter for you, babe, for all

the world to see. I love you.
