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.
