Tell Her

Amid the cares of married life
In spite of toil and business strife;
If you value your sweet wife,
Tell her.
Prove to her you don't forget
The bond to which the seal is set;
She's of life's sweets, the sweetest yet-
Tell her.
When days are dark and deeply blue, 
She has her troubles, same as you;
Show her that your love is true-
Tell her.
There was a time you thought it bliss
To get the favor of one kiss;
A dozen now won't come amiss-
Tell her.
Your love for her is no mistake,
You feel it, dreaming or awake;
Don't conceal it, for her sake-
Tell her.
Don't act, if she has passed the prime,
As though to please her were a crime;
If ever you loved her, now's the time-
Tell her.
She'll return, for each caress,
A hundredfold of tenderness;
Hearts like hers were made to bless!
Tell her.
You are hers and hers alone;
Well you know she's all your own.
Don't wait to "Carve it on a stone:-
Tell her.
Never let her heart grow cold;
Richer beauties will unfold.
She is worth her weight in gold!
Tell her.
