I am thankful for sweet foggy messages

I am thankful for sweet foggy messages
for the toothpaste-glazed toothbrush right before bedtime
for the blanket that covers me when I fall asleep first
for the kiss on the forehead, the kiss on the nose.

I am thankful for holding hands while you drive
for bringing home chocolates, fruits and other surprises
for setting up my favorite shows on your laptop
for making me breakfast for dinner just as I like it.

I am thankful for you, this year and always,
for calling me just to say you miss me,
for making me laugh from my heart, from my belly,
for helping me hold on to childlike wonder.

I am thankful for your sweet foggy messages,
I am thankful for you, this year and always.

This is a poem for my beloved H, and my entry as well to Avalon.ph’s What are you thankful for? contest.

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

    So sweet! I think it’s such a wonderful relationship when two people can be together all the time and LIKE each other as well as LOVE each other. How fabulous that you can still appreciate your husband with a fresh attitude and keep the romance alive. Good for you!
