Poems by Danny Blackburn

I have to remember that true love is strong and enduring,
But it is true, there are times when the strong need reassuring.

You write me and say, "Danny, everything is fine, please don't worry."  I thank you.
I love you so, and I appreciate you taking that moment to tell me you love me too.

You write me and say, "We're good, I promise." I hope you know how much that means to me.
Our life together will be your pleasure. I will give you all my love, devotion, and attention, that you will see.

When we were young we took time for walks in the park.
Hand in hand, so happy together just walking in the dark.

We loved so pure, so honest and true.
I thanked God then as today for giving me you.

We loved life and each other, we promised our devotion forever.
We were so happy, so loving and always together.

We had not a lot of things or money back then,
But I had the best of life; my wife was my best friend.

We had love and we had each other; you were and are God's gift and my treasure.
Then as today to just lie on the couch as you fall asleep in my arms is my pleasure.

It is the simple things that mean so much,
As simple as just feeling your touch.

Now all these years later I feel so in love with you.
I am a very blessed man, and God has blessed me; I know that is true.

Each day I awake and I realize what I want to do.
I want to spend each day of my life devoted to and loving you.

I want to have new adventures in life; you know that is true,
But I want to do nothing that does not include you.

We love today like never a day before,
Because each day I love you so much more.

You are so beautiful, more beautiful each day.
You beauty is more than it was yesterday.

You have matured from a beautiful young bride
To a beautiful mature woman with love and pride.

We no longer have youth on our side.
Our age is something that we much longer can't hide.

My love for you has grown stronger through the years.
Your love gives me strength, so as we age I have no fears.

I love you, and I hope you know that you are my blessing, my wife.
I am devoted to loving you and caring for you for the rest of my life.

Your life on this earth has been a blessing to so many a soul
My dear wife, I hope that is something that you already know

I know what your life here has meant to me
It has been a blessing sent from God that I truly see

In you I see
A delicate but strong person
In you I see
A loving and kind person
In you I see
A sharing and giving soul
In you I see
A wise and valued friend
In you I see
A very beautiful woman
In you I see
A very moral person
In you I see
A woman who has become my best friend

With you I feel
The softness of your heart
With you I feel
The commitment of true love
With you I feel
You sharing your strengths to support me and lift me up
With you I feel
Valued as a human being
With you I feel
Wisdom so great and beyond your years
With you I feel
The beauty that God has placed in your soul
With you I feel
That you are truly my best friend, my life
With you I feel
Blessed to be your husband and to have you as my wife

You are the picture and example of a perfect wife
A person that we are all so blessed to know in our lives

It is you and your love that has changed me
God through you has shown me who I need to be

The message I see through you from God above
Is that through you God has filled my heart with love

I just want you to know that I realize that I have been blessed so true
That I know now that God loves me and he has shown me that through you

So please believe that I feel so free and in love with you
That to God I promise I am his and then yours and always true

I promise to you my devotion and the rest of my life
Because with you I have a God sent gift, a beautiful wife

I got up early this morning and put the coffee on
It was a beautiful morning, a Sunday morning dawn

I made the coffee, two cups, one for me and one for you
I brought them back to our bed, but to awake you I could not do

I placed the two cups on the table next to our bed
You did not know that I laid back down at the foot of the bed

I watched as you laid there asleep and so peaceful
I watched you, thinking to myself and God that you are so beautiful

I watched as you dreamed, the movement of your eyes and often a little smile
You looked amazing there so beautiful, you never knew I was there all the while

I watched the sunlight flicker on your beautiful face
I watched you lay there, for me a beautiful place

I then got up and placed hot water on towels in the tub
I had planed you a Sunday morning massage, a good rub

I finally awoke you about an hour after I had awaken
You never knew the time that I had taken

Time to admire your beauty, your peace as you did sleep
Truly loving each minute and building a memory to keep

I gave you your coffee in bed
"Oh, that's cold," was what you said

You had no idea what I had been doing up all that time
I could not wake you and admired as you slept, so peaceful and fine

I brought more coffee and this time it was hot
I was sorry it was cold, I should have thought

I took off your night shirt, you yet knew my plans
I placed a hot towel on your back, rubbed it in with my hands

Next was a hot oil massage rubbed in with love
Something that I must do for my angel sent from above

You often say, "You don't have to do this"
Trust me when I say if I did not it is something I would miss

It gives me the ability to express my love in a gentle and caring way
Something that I want to do for you each day

It gives me a chance to touch your body so soft and so beautiful
Something that I want to do, it is called being thoughtful

I know that you are at times in great pain, I am here for you
I hope you know that I would take the pain from you, I love you true

If my touch through a massage brings you relief and pleasure
Please let me do that for you, it means more to me than you can measure

You know that I pray, God is listening from up above
I pray that you know that I do these things out of love

I am your husband true and devoted to love and to care for you
You are my everything, my love, my life, my world, please know this is true

As your husband I am to honor and respect you and ensure that no harm comes to you
A husband should be willing to give his life for his wife, I will give my life for you in all that I do

I miss your touch, the smile on you face and the sound of your voice so sweet
I love as the day ends, to lie in each other's arms, to kiss you and to feel your heartbeat
 
I love to feel you in my arms as you sleep so peaceful and sweet
The warmth of your body, the smell of your perfume and to feel your heartbeat
 
To see you in the night, in the light of the moon for you are so beautiful
Your love, your warmth, your laughter, your touch fills my heart so full
 
My one desire is to love you so much that you never have doubt
The love that I feel for you is so overpowering that at times I want to shout
 
I want to shout out that I love you and I adore you
I want the world to hear me praise and love for you
 
I wish that I could lift you to the stars above
I know that you were sent by God to me with love
 
I adore you not only for only your beauty but for what you have shared with me, your love
You are a beautiful person whose inner beauty is like that of an angel from above
 
I praise you as my wife, a wife more perfect than any other
I praise you for your kindness and love that you share with our children as their mother
 
I look at you and see a special person, one of a kind
God has blessed us all and me especially with a wife so fine
 
Together we have stood for each other
I can only love you and never another
 
Please know that I love you for all that you are and all that you give
I promise to love you, hold you, adore you and praise you for as long as I live
 
I love you

My love for you is unconditional and enduring.
To you I promise to always be reassuring.

My love for you protects you and is honorable.
To you I promise to always be faithful.

My love for you is understanding and passionate.
To you I promise to always be compassionate.

My love for you is thoughtful and cherishing.
To you I promise to always be devoted and caring.

My love for you is patient and kind.
To you I promise this always until the end of time.

My love for you is selfless and forgiving.
To you I promise this always, for as long as I am living.

My love for you is devoted and encouraging.
To you I promise to always listen and never be detouring.

I promise to show you, my wife, that I love you in all that I do.
I can promise these things because with all of my heart I love you.

I promise...

To take time for you and pursue you passionately,
And I promise to love you compassionately.
 
I do seek to understand your needs so deeply,
And I promise each day to love you so completely.
 
I will provide a home of love and emotional purity,
And I promise love, laughter, honesty, and a life where you feel security.
 
I will make time for you, for without you I have no time,
And I promise you to cherish, honor, respect, admire and be kind.
 
Time may take us down a path where you need to be taken care of,
And I promise to hold you, clean you and continue to admire you with love.
 
If life places pain in your heart, I will be there to fill it with love,
And I promise each day to pray for our health and happiness from God above.
 
I will awaken each day to see your sweet smile and feel your touch,
And I promise to bring you happiness and laughter; I love you so much.
 
I will be there for you each day of my life,
And I promise to make you happy, for you are my wife.
 
I give you my heart; I love you girl, can't you see?
And I promise to be very attentive and caring indeed.
 
I have run for miles swearing my love to you for life,
And I promise to God to honor you, my beautiful wife
 
I love you!

I had walked through life with nothing until you; until you, I knew no pleasure.
And then one day God sent you to me; you, my wife, my treasure.

A gift from God, a gift so fine that you can never be measured.
A love so fine, so sweet, so kind; it's you, my love; you, my wife, my treasure.

I promise to hug and kiss and hold you each day.
I promise a love with devotion that will never ever fade away.

I promise and swear to God above
To show you nothing but my pure love.

I will admire the blessing of your boundless love,
Because I know that you are a true gift from heaven above.

I will not hurt you with my frustrations.
I will hold you close and kiss you with loving admiration.

I will always appreciate your commitment to me.
Give me a chance, for can't you see?

This is not a game of chance that we play.
It is true love that I swear is committed to stay.

You say that at times you are afraid.
This one I can find no rhyme so let me be clear:

I will...
       Love you endlessly
       Devote my life to making you happy
       Admire you each day for the person you are
       Take interest in the things that you like to do
       Admire your beauty daily in awe and reflect it back to you
       Be attentive to you and your needs
       Be forgiving
       Listen to you with never a harsh word in return (I swear it and pray for it in God's name)
       Show you by my actions that I love you
       Be more open and fun to you, your family and friends
       Never go to bed without you
       Rub you, kiss you, bathe you, lift you up or whatever it takes when you are feeling down.
       
I will kiss you and love you all that I possibly can,
And don't be embarrassed to be seen holding my hand.

I will treasure each day as if it were our last,
And at the end of your life you won't regret me being your past.

You are the sunshine in my morning, and like a the bird, I will sing you a song.
I know that in this life when I am troubled, through God it's you who keeps me strong.

You are the mother of my children and the air that gives me life,
My truest friend of all, my heart, my soul, my wife.

I love you very much; you are all that is good in this world.
