To My Dear and Loving Husband
By Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.

Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
That when we live no more we may live ever.
My husband
My husband, my heart, my endless song,
With you beside me, I feel strong.
Your love shines bright like stars above,
Filling my world with endless love.
Through every smile and every tear,
You are the one I hold most dear.
My forever dream, my guiding light,
You make my darkest days feel bright.
My husband,my angel
I don't know why god chose you but he did
and I'm so happy as each day I say a thank you prayer
for sending you my angel when I was at loves despair,
I was unaware that true love was out there and really did exist
but through the tears and the horizon you came to me through the mist
a handsome king with angels wings who's heart sings my name
while the passions burns through us like the hottest of the fires flames,
you hold me up if I ever start to lean,your heaven sent my love,
the answer to my dreams
with eyes of blue that have all the answers to the questions,
I've ever asked,it was not till I found you that I was finally unmasked
opened and explored,nothing to hide all of your love to me you lovingly provide,inside I am happy and fulfilled,as together a future the two of us build
together in this love like fairy tale, I hold the hand of the perfect male he lives upon this earth,and trust me when I say I know of his every worth,the angels did sing and cry at the sight of perfection
upon his birth, my beautiful angel who hides his wings,he's modest so it seems,but his halo gleams in the golden sun and when he speaks my name I come undone
this is cliche yes I know,although I find it to be true,just because his wings do not show does not mean he isn't so...
Ode to My Husband, Who Brings The Music
By Zeina Hashem Beck
There are more windows in the new house, so much light
the living room feels weightless. On weekends, I find you
staring out into the garden from the sofa.
You always wake before me, go downstairs & start
playing a song on your phone—sometimes it’s new,
more often it’s not, & always it works
the memory. When we carved the olive tree near our school,
we could barely see the letters. But after the rain,
they blazed orange. Does bark heal, our names
buried inside it? A name is a wound is a song,
so what you’re really doing is calling me. From what
sleep? You warned I eat my days too fast,
or perhaps it was too slow. You once asked,
What happened? A balding head, a bank account.
Somewhere, a boy with a black fringe kicks a football & eats figs
straight from the tree. I repeat the story of my fear
of fig trees, how my parents said the wind from the branches
could blind me. No such thing, you shrug.
Half of our hometowns thought our marriage was a sin.
A mistake, at least. There were phone calls.
There was hanging up. Years of silence.
& though we weren’t a revolution,
we were at least a questioning.
Last week, you almost dialed my old phone number,
& I wondered whether it would ring
in my childhood house, & whether I’d rush to answer.
Only you know & remember the house I drew
over & over again in all my school books:
house with roof tiles, with chimney,
with lake & swan. Simple, geometric house
I never colored in. But look how resilient
the future is, how I underestimated
the importance of big windows. Of the calm sea
of you. I don’t know at what age we learn to be afraid
of happiness. Our first slow dance was in a family club
called Union, in a town too small. We had no flow,
still have none. Unless you consider this—
me in bed, not ready for the morning yet,
& you downstairs, bringing the music.
My husband
In your arms, I found my peaceful place,
A world of love within your warm embrace.
You are the reason my heart softly sings,
The keeper of dreams and beautiful things.
Every morning feels brighter with you near,
You wipe away every doubt and fear.
Your gentle smile lights up my soul,
And with your love, I feel completely whole.
You are my shelter in the pouring rain,
The one who comforts me through every pain.
When life gets hard and the road feels long,
You hold my hand and make me strong.
I still remember the sparkle in your eyes,
A love so pure, a beautiful surprise.
Since the day our hearts became one,
My world has glowed brighter than the sun. ☀️💖
You are not only my husband, my dear,
But my best friend year after year.
The one who listens, understands, and cares,
The one who always lovingly shares.
Your laughter is music sweet to hear,
A melody I treasure every year.
Even silence feels special with you,
Because your love is honest and true.
No treasure in this world could ever compare,
To the endless love we happily share.
You are my forever, my sweetest part,
The king who gently rules my heart. 👑❤️
When I look at you, I see my home,
A place where I never feel alone.
Your love is the light that guides my way,
Giving me hope every single day.
Thank you for every little thing you do,
For staying loyal, caring, and true.
For every hug, every kiss, every smile,
That makes my life feel so worthwhile. 💕
I promise to stand by your side forever,
Through every storm and every endeavor.
No matter what tomorrow may bring,
To my heart, you’ll always be everything.
My husband, my soulmate, my dream come true,
There’s no one in this world quite like you.
And until my very last breath and day,
I will love you more in every way. 💖
From My Heart
– Elizabeth Smith
A million stars up in the sky.
One shines brighter – I can’t deny.
A love so precious, a love so true,
a love that comes from me to you.
The angels sing when you are near.
Within your arms, I have nothing to fear.
You always know just what to say.
Just talking to you makes my day.
I love you, honey, with all of my heart.
Together forever and never to part.
