Unlocked

To my wife, who is amazing.

You are you for a very good reason
Because you are very good in general
And incredibly strong in particular

I don’t know anyone who could do what you do
As often or as determined as you do
Without ceasing to be, in part or in whole, you

Every step we’ve taken up to his moment
Each day we wake up in a strange and exhausting place
These are pieces of you

Your love for your family always
Your frustration with me nearly as much
These traits create beauty in your soul

Each moment I spend with you reminds me
Your love is undeserved, uncompromising
And nothing I have to offer is worthy

My life does not belong to me
Your key is largest in the door of my being
And as long as I can, I will keep it locked.
