I watch you sleeping so peacefully next to me and feel frustrated that I lack the proper eloquence to convey my love for you.  From your sun-warmed skin to your deep brown eyes, to your strong hands and sculpted frame you are beauty to me… the standard by which I judge all other men I see.  Your beauty flows over you and through you…from the very heart of you.  Your kindness, patience, strength, humility, humor, intelligence and love overwhelm me.  I am deeply grateful for you and could not imagine going through everything I am going through without your strength and love to lean on.  Thank you with all of my heart.  I love you.
