Student Poetry

To sickness and health I am happy to be your husband and you
Are happy to be my wife.
When I first saw you my heart was betting like a horse.
When I go to sleep I have dreams about you;
Your smile your laugh and your smartness.
You are a star of my heart and I am the moon of your eyes
And I care about you so that is why I love you with all my heat
And I always be there for you.
