Because

by Henry Custer


Because you are you, what more can I say?
I love you more with each passing day.
While I feel compelled to ramble and roam,
You are the one who makes our house a home.

I can drive a nail, fix the car or mow the lawn
but it's your personal touch that brings the dawn.
I can hang a picture; center it high or low,
but only you know just where it should go.

Our home is a warm and comfortable lair
but only because I know you are there.
I take you for granted, I freely confess,
but without you darling, I'd just be a mess!

After sixty great years I'm sure you know
that I love you dearly and cherish you so.
But I need to say it, just one more time
I am forever grateful that you are still mine.

Happy Anniversary Jody...
