Song of Songs 5:10-16 (Revised)

My husband, you are bright and handsome,
Outstanding among all the men I know.
Your head is round like a gold krugerrand
your remaining hair is straight
dark brown like bear’s fur.
Your eyes are like points of light
Reflections in streams of water
washed in snow,
mounted above like the Big Dipper.
Your cheeks are forest floors
yielding soft fragrance.
Your lips are like strawberries
dipped in chocolate.
Your arms are branches of cedar
inlaid with pine.
Your body is like the trunk of a mighty oak
decorated with polished cherry.
Your legs are I-beams of cast steel
driven deep into the earth.
Your appearance is like the Grand Canyon
altogether unfathomable.
Your mouth is tart sweetness itself;
Like the first bite of key lime pie.
This is my husband, this is my best friend,
O Christian blogging ladies.

Oh I love it! That was great to read! I never thought of using the Song of Songs! great stuff!
Should I be blushing?
I found this topic challenging. How much SHOULD a person say in front of the blogging public?
Thanks e-Mom for you commitment to showing the good in marriage.
Great post! I love the creativity in this letter! Thanks for sharing and for hosting us each month.
That was beautiful! Very creative, too. Your husband should be very complimented.
What a neat love letter! I especially liked the I-beam metaphor for a man. ;) Very creative!
I LOVE IT! That is so great! And here I went off in the mush pot with mine....Rob is going to love this!
I'm hitting the road leaving my brother's house to travel home, so I can't wait to sit and read all of the others tonight!
LOVE IT!
