Dearest Barb,

When I close my eyes I see your face
Your hair of wonder, your eyes of grace.
And looking deeper, what I find--
 is innocence and love so kind,
 not thinking of self, but only of me,
 concerned that your faithfulness I'd see.

When I open my eyes I see your face
Your walk about our house with grace.
Yet, looking deeper, what I find--
 each step so purposeful, so kind:
 each day you serve our family well,
 each child knows your love is real,
 each task is done with tender care,
 each moment spent as if in prayer.

I see you, but not as others see you
Alone I've come to know the real you.
Some may know you in black and white,
Others in colors gleaming bright.
But the best facets of your love are shown
When home with me and all alone--
 the secrets that alone we share,
 the burdens that alone we bear,
 the prayers that no one else will know,
 the passions that we will not show.

No one in this world I'll ever find--
 who fills my heart and soul and mind,
 who gives me joy beyond compare,
 whom I could give my love to share.
There's nothing anyone could do
To ever take the place of you!

   Your loving husband, Ken
