You put your dreams aside

so I could share a life with you.

You’re always there

to help me out with anything I do.

You’re the ones I always count on

when I’m worried, scared, or lost.

I know the things you do for me

don’t come without a cost.

No more privacy or peace for you

the day I came your way,

quiet days and restful nights -

you gave that all away.

I hope that I was worth it,

all the chaos and the stress,

and the fact that no matter how much

you clean, our house remains a mess.

I hope you know what I would do for you,

and that I’m thankful every day,

but most of all I hope you know

I love you more than words can say.
