Dear Prue,
I am very sleepy and tired, but could not think of closing my eyes till I had told you I am, dearest creature, your most affectionate and faithful husband,

Poetry Bad, Love Good
I found this among my late father's papers. It's a poem he wrote to my mother while they were dating. He was a college student at the time.
When I behold the blueness of your eyes,
Or hear the melody of your sweet voice,
My life to be complete, I realize,
Depends upon me as your final choice.
Or hear the melody of your sweet voice,
My life to be complete, I realize,
Depends upon me as your final choice.
