I Hope You Know – A Poem

My dear Husband:

I hope you

know that I

would climb mountains

for you if

the only thing

that would make

you well was

an herb that

grew on the

topmost peak. I

hope you know

that I would

swim across the widest

sea if the

only thing that

would mend your

cuts was a

salve made from

leaves of a

tree that only

grew on the

other side of

that ocean. And

I hope you

know that if

you had a

fever and the

only thing that

would calm it

was tea from

across the world,

I would scour

the Earth to

find it, so

that I could

make you well.

Just as you

take care of

me, I will

care for you.

My dear Husband,

I hope you

know how much

I love you.

So much so

that it defies

description.
