I Love Him Because...

I love him because he appeared in the dark of night

When I was all alone with no one to love me in sight;

I love him because the thought of him makes me smile

I prayed, he came, even though it took a while;

I love him because he’s my very best friend

Not just in definition, but deep down within;

I love him because he changed for me

When I thought our love wasn’t meant to be;

I love him because just thinking of this poem makes me cry

Because he’s all mine and I don’t know why;

I love him because he’s smart and witty

Not to mention he's outrageously silly;

I love him because my mother loved him too

She told me that, that’s when I knew;

I love him because he’s a great daddy

Seeing him with his kids makes me love him madly;

I love him because he holds my hand while we sleep

He cries for me when I weep;

I love him because I have no other choice

He gives my spirit life and my soul a voice;

I love him because God told me to

I’ve loved him since birth and will my life thru.
