Sometimes
I worry about you
You don't relax enough
You work so hard
There is so much for you to do

Sometimes 
I worry about you
You don't realize how much
you are appreciated
or how much you give of yourself 
to others
or what a wonderful partner you are 
to me

Other times 
I am thankful
for the way you are
as I realize it is the
only way you could be

But at all times 
I want you to know that 
I respect you so greatly
and I thank you for
being the best person in the world
in every way


-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I Love You
