You - Sonnet 20

Your laughter ringing sweetly in my ears;
The way your eyes shine brightly in the sun
And turn my knotted heart to coils undone;
Your passion bubbled up in drops of tears,
Both glad and sorrowful; your caring touch
That nurtures even wilted blades of grass;
The humor you employ: a rush of sass
And wit with effortless effect, of such
Intense and fruitful wisdom there impearled;
The bearing of our son through days and weeks;
The pleasant color in your voice and cheeks
That makes my mind forget this weary world:
And many more, dear one, are reasons for
My "I love you", my darling, evermore!
