Sadie, this is meant to be
A very special token
Of all that's in my heart each day
But often left unspoken…..
The deep and lasting happiness
I've found in married life
The pride I feel because i have
The whole worlds sweetest wife…
My gratitude for all you've done
To show how much you care
And for the joy of coming home
To find you waiting there……
And, in return, I hope you know
That everything I do
Is designed to make life happier
In some small way, for you…….
                            Love, Tom
