I am writing to request a poem for my husband.
We have been married for 6 years, and are currently expecting our second child (this one was not planned, we had decided not to have any more when I became pregnant while on birth control pills).  We have a 5 year old son, Alex. I would like this poem to let my husband know how much I love him, need him, and truly appreciate him.
We were very close to separating about a year & 1/2 ago, because of (1) things that I had done & (2) his family.  We moved to another town & began to heal our relationship.  Throughout all of this, he remained caring & understanding. He stood by me when everyone else thought he shouldn't (including me-I was extremely depressed).
Right now there are 2 things that make our future uncertain (not as a couple, but regarding major changes that will/have affected us)
1.  The child we are expecting.  We are happy & eager to welcome our daughter to the world, but we are currently living in a small two bedroom house with no extra space, so we will have to find someplace bigger.  Also, this will be hard to cope with financially.
2.  My husband recently learned that as of March, 99 (the same month our baby is due) my husband will no longer have a job.  The company he works for is downsizing & can guarantee his salary only until then. 
Despite all of the stress in our lives now, he remains optimistic & caring.
I want to let him know that I am there for him whenever he needs me & I
understand when he occasionally gets too stressed & becomes moody/irritable, even though I may not always show it.
Thank you very much!  Whoops!-almost forgot-his name is Kirk.
>Thanks you again,
>Andrea

March is a special month,

it's when our baby was due,

a special time for her,

a special time for me and you.

 

Don't worry about the job,

another one will come along,

if we focus on our family,

then we just can't go wrong.

 

I know we came close,

to going our separate ways,

don't like looking back,

they weren't our happiest days.

 

I'm sorry for what I did,

let it go to history past,

and let's make sure this time,

let's make sure we make it last.

 

Through our trials and tribulations,

you have stood by me,

you've been understanding and caring,

you've shown what love is meant to be.

 

At times I was undeserving,

of your attention and care,

I'd mistreated you,

I'd treated you unfair.

 

But you've been my rock,

solid and there to pull me through,

I don't know what I'd have done,

if it hadn't been for you.

 

And now the pressure is on,

and we could end up a mess,

life could get on top of us,

we could give in to the stress.

 

But I'll be there for you,

just like you've been before,

and I will love you forever,

for now, and for evermore.
