Poems by Danny Blackburn

Your smile is the joy of my day
I have not seen that smile for another day
 
Each day I need to taste your lips
Another day has passed without your kiss
 
Tonight I go to bed and you are not with me
Oh my love, how I miss thee
 
In the darkness of the night I miss your touch
Each day I love and miss you so much
 
I write you these thoughts of my love
Sometimes I don't know, but I trust in God above
 
I trust that we will be together again someday soon
Under the light of a golden fall moon
 
I have promised my love, an undying love for only you
I won't fail you, my devotion and love are yours, that is true
 
I just want to love you, hold you, caress you, and never let you go
Can you tell me that this is something that you don't realize or know?
   
I LOVE YOU AND WILL FOR MY LIFE TIME, DO YOU SEE?

I got up early this morning and put the coffee on
It was a beautiful morning, a Sunday morning dawn

I made the coffee, two cups, one for me and one for you
I brought them back to our bed, but to awake you I could not do

I placed the two cups on the table next to our bed
You did not know that I laid back down at the foot of the bed

I watched as you laid there asleep and so peaceful
I watched you, thinking to myself and God that you are so beautiful

I watched as you dreamed, the movement of your eyes and often a little smile
You looked amazing there so beautiful, you never knew I was there all the while

I watched the sunlight flicker on your beautiful face
I watched you lay there, for me a beautiful place

I then got up and placed hot water on towels in the tub
I had planed you a Sunday morning massage, a good rub

I finally awoke you about an hour after I had awaken
You never knew the time that I had taken

Time to admire your beauty, your peace as you did sleep
Truly loving each minute and building a memory to keep

I gave you your coffee in bed
"Oh, that's cold," was what you said

You had no idea what I had been doing up all that time
I could not wake you and admired as you slept, so peaceful and fine

I brought more coffee and this time it was hot
I was sorry it was cold, I should have thought

I took off your night shirt, you yet knew my plans
I placed a hot towel on your back, rubbed it in with my hands

Next was a hot oil massage rubbed in with love
Something that I must do for my angel sent from above

You often say, "You don't have to do this"
Trust me when I say if I did not it is something I would miss

It gives me the ability to express my love in a gentle and caring way
Something that I want to do for you each day

It gives me a chance to touch your body so soft and so beautiful
Something that I want to do, it is called being thoughtful

I know that you are at times in great pain, I am here for you
I hope you know that I would take the pain from you, I love you true

If my touch through a massage brings you relief and pleasure
Please let me do that for you, it means more to me than you can measure

You know that I pray, God is listening from up above
I pray that you know that I do these things out of love

I am your husband true and devoted to love and to care for you
You are my everything, my love, my life, my world, please know this is true

As your husband I am to honor and respect you and ensure that no harm comes to you
A husband should be willing to give his life for his wife, I will give my life for you in all that I do

My girlfriend is now my wife
It happened 30 years ago and changed my life
 
I have heard people complain as they age of what they may have missed
Well, if they complain, then that is for them, because for 30 years I have had your kiss
 
I know not of things I could have had in a life that is past
I do know that I am blessed with your love, a love that lasts
 
If I look back in time and say, "I missed something and I desire"
I think of your love and to say I would trade a thing would make me a liar
 
I could look back in time and say, "I could have had"
I had you, to want anything else would be just mad
 
I know as a young husband I gave up what some may feel were the best years of their lives
Well, I gave up nothing. I feel sorrow for them; I had more because you are my wife
 
Yes, I know how to look back in time, I know my life
I would not change a thing because you are my wife
 
Regret, why should I do such a thing
For I am proud to wear my wedding ring
 
They had fast cars and fast times
I had you, a wife so very fine
 
What did they have that I did not
Well, whatever it was, I am sure it was not a lot

You are my past, my present, and my future
We have lived our past, you are my present, and I pray to be blessed with you in my future
 
I had more joy, more laughter, more love, and more pleasure
Because what I have with you is more than can be measured

Pammy, you are my first love, the one that I still love today.
You are still just as beautiful, and I have learned to love you in so many different ways.

I love you for your caring, kind, and gentle ways.
I love you for your beauty, which only gets better with each passing day.

I love you for your kiss, your touch and your loving ways.
I loved you yesterday, today and will tomorrow. I promise my love is here to stay.

I love you because you saved and gave yourself to me.
I love and respect you, that I hope that you see.

I want you to know that I truly respect you for that act of love.
I remember well the first time that we made love; you are a gift from God above.

Yesterdays are the past, today is to be lived.
I loved you yesterday and today, tomorrow I will have more love to give.

Your devotion was never wavering, your love is oh so true.
I give my soul to God, and my heart I give to you.

I fell for you the first time we kissed.
Every minute that we are apart, please know that you are missed.

Pammy, my love for you is pure and true.
There is no other girl for me, for I can love only you.

You are my love, my joy, my life, my breath, the beating of my heart
Please know that I love you, long for you, and it kills me when we are apart.

I promise to give you all I have, my love for you is endless, yours for our lifetime and eternity.
I promise to love, honor, cherish, hold, protect, and devote myself to thee.

Pammy, you are my first love, my true love, the love that I promise to protect and to give all to.
I thank God for the privilege of loving you.

I know not all the languages of this world.
I know not all the ways to tell you that I love you, girl.

I will express my love in words and by my deeds.
I promise to you forever, and I hope you see.

Your beauty is endless in my eyes, can't you see?
For you are the only love for me.

I desire to hold and touch you through each night
And awaken to you each morning for the rest of my life.

Your honesty, love and friendship as my wife brings me the greatest of pleasure.
You are my love, my wife, my best friend and God's greatest gift to me, you are my treasure.

As you have begun to see, life is moving fast,
And as we go through time mine is a love that will last.

As life moves on I promise to love you each day with a gentle touch,
To hold you, kiss you, caress you, care for you, for I love you so very, very much.

Your touch, your kiss and your words of love to me mean so much.
When we are apart I miss your love, your kiss and your touch so very, very much.

Your smile brightens my day, your touch warms my soul and your kiss rushes my heart.
My dearest Pammy I love you, I miss you and I long for you when we are apart.

How do I show you my love is yours, endless and true?
How do I show you that I cherish and honor you?

I will lift you to the stars above.
I will prove that my love for you is an endless love.

I know not all the ways to express my love of you and for you
I promise to show in every way that my love for you is true.

Chiholloli translated from Chickasaw is "I LOVE YOU."
I pray to God that you know that is true
