Week 7...

I hate Valentine's day. There, I said it. I don't like being forced to do something like show my love. I try really hard to do that all of the time. This makes me a bad husband come February 14. 

So here is my PUBLIC APOLOGY for being too proud to celebrate V-day (I'm sorry, Rach,) and my PUBLIC PROFESSION OF ADORATION of my... (deep breath) VALENTINE! 

I love my wife more than life itself. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She put me back together. She picked up my pieces and made me into something. She is beautiful from head to toe; inside and out. She is the best mom around. She's the best friend I've ever had. I like her so much, I painted our bedroom hot magenta or pink or whatnot. She is the reason I continue to take in breath here on earth. I could not go on without her. She is my love song, my dove, my dearest one, my beloved. I will shout it from the mountain tops and deep within the valleys. I love her so much, even though we are married, I still propose to her in public places on a regular basis. She makes me laugh and cry in the best way. She is the greatest part of me, by far. 

Alas, she is upstairs asleep. She went to bed sad. I am kicking myself in the rear for that. But, this is her Valentine's day present. It's a song I wrote for her a little while back. Well, I actually wrote it for my kids, but it's all about her. It's called Lucky Man. 

Enjoy, 

Christopher

Lyrics

Have I ever told you the story

About the girl who took control of my heart

From the moment our eyes connected

I knew we would never be apart

I love the way that she dances

I love the way she smiles and sings her songs

And oh the way she romances me

I cannot help it but to sing along

Oh I could go on and on 

About the the way she makes me feel

She is my sweet little baby girl

And she alone only rules my world 

Day and night she is my sweetest friend

All is right when she hold my hand

I'm a lucky man

Have I ever told you the story

About the woman who became my wife

What if I told you that you know her

What if I told you that she gave you life

On and on she gives her best 

And floods our hearts with so much love

She is my sweet little baby girl

And she alone only rules my world 

Day and night she is my sweetest friend

All is right when she hold my hand

I'm a lucky man

On and on this love, it grows

Overtaking everything we know

She is my sweet little honey child

She makes me smile and she blows my mind

I can't believe what I have come to see

Your momma's love has made a man of me

She is my sweet little baby girl

And she alone only rules my world 

Day and night she is my sweetest friend

All is right when she hold my hand

I'm a lucky man
