I love you
for calling in sick
for bundling me in the car
with blankets and cocoa
and peppermints.
and driving me to
sanctuary, the sea.
I love you for knowing
that I needed a day
to do nothing but play
in the cold, new winter air.
But most of all,
I love you for
standing barefoot in the surf
in a flurry of snow
so that I wouldn't freeze alone,
and racing me back to the car
on frozen feet.
You made my day,
again,
and I will spend my days
finding ways to make you
as happy and secure
as you have made me.
