I close my eyes to fall asleep But there's only one thing I can see A handsome groom and a big white dress Their fingers in a ring's caress
Sleep has taken me away But my dreams obsess over our big day Exchanging promises from the heart Vows to never stray apart
I wake up, heart beating fast Another dream of us has passed My very first thought is of you And all the things we plan to do
We'll find a house to make our home A place for memories to be grown Within the walls of our little space We'll welcome more than one new face
My thoughts run away with me To the wonderful parents we could be To carry children made with you Would truly be a dream come true
Four little ones to love and raise With Mommy's fight and Daddy's craze What an adventure our future holds Raising demons to be angels
Though most of the time you won't be home I won't be raising them alone I'll have your support and you'll have mine To pull through months of divided time
So through thick and thin, by your side I'll be Even while you're out at sea I am yours and yours alone When you're gone and when you're home
I'd love to spend my life with you From now till the time that death is due Though our bodies may weaken, our love will stay strong I'll stay by your side, right where I belong
So someday when we both grow old It's still your hand that I will hold Even at my dying breath I'll love you with all that I have left
I can promise you one thing To you my heart will forever cling I devote to you my life I'd give anything to be your wife
I wrote this poem for my Navy boyfriend, I hope you enjoy it as much as he did.
