A SENTIMENTAL NOTE FROM THE POET

As you can see by the second poem below, I am and always have been sentimental.  Because I'm visually impaired, I don't go many places without my wife.  So 11 years ago I decided to write a poem to my wife instead of buying her cards for the occasion of the 1st day that we met, her birthday, our anniversary and Valentines Day.  With her approval the poem below is what I wrote to her on our ninth anniversary, except for something very personal at the end which I left out.
