To Ed from Sue
Some of you might have read this before.. wrote it a little while ago..
But I thought that I would like to post something that goes a little towards trying to explain just how much I love my Ed.
My love for you is like an iceberg.
Huge.
Beautiful
Unpredictable.
Sometimes I feel frozen and captured, like a tiny fragment of stone encapsulated in ice and then
You touch me and I melt.
Sometimes you look at me and I melt more.
Once or twice you have caused bits of me to break off and float away.
The thing with icebergs though, is that only one third is visible. The other two thirds are hidden below the surface of the Ocean.
And so it is…
My love for you is like an iceberg.
And though what you can see of it above the surface is spectacular and so vast and huge and beautiful and all so visible for all to see for miles around, there is so much more below the surface that is hidden from view.
For only you to see.
Or perhaps for you not to see?
But you always know that it is there.
and I like it like that..
My love for you is like an iceberg
Huge.
Beautiful
Hidden
And, if my love for you is like an iceberg, then you can only be
The deep green, blue tinged icy sea
That encircles me
And carries me
And melts part of me
And keeps me free
To love you
Like an iceberg.

I’ve seen this before but I think that it’s still nice to repeat it.
P.S. It doesn’t render correctly in Microsoft Internet Explorer so you may want to take a look at it.

Beautiful poetry. We all know how lucky Ed is. It’s good to know Ed also knows - by no means always the case.
