Twenty Four


24 is sweeter than 23
Because I am one year older.
And every moment that adds
to my age in this life
Brings me closer and
closer
to your heart
How I love your heart.
So each second
each day
each year
is a little happier than the last.
I watch them pass
and I watch us grow
and I find that we are 
ever so much more
in love
than we were
when I was only 23.
24 is sweeter than 23
Because you make it so.

   
(My birthday was a special one. My presents included…
cozy flannel sheets, an old fashioned map of North America,
some classic books I've been desperately wanting, a delicious home made dinner… 
and tickets to see the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical!!!!!!!!)

  2. My delicate flower. You are my dream come true. My sweetest treasure. One of my most important callings on this earth is to give myself to you in such a way that convinces you that your worth is more than mountains of gold and seas of diamonds.
    You are my amazing princess and I adore you!!!
    Happy Birthday again my lovely!
