Tell Her So!

AMID the cares of married life, In spite of toil and business strife, If you value your sweet wife, Tell her so!
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 so!
When days are dark and deeply blue, She has her troubles, same as you; Show her that your love is true— Tell her so!
There was a time you thought it bliss To get the favor of one kiss; A dozen now won't come amiss— Tell her so!
Your love for her is no mistake— You feel it, dreaming or awake— Don't conceal it! For her sake, Tell her so!
Don't act, if she has passed her prime, As though to please her were a crime; If e'er you loved her, now's the time— Tell her so!
She'll return, for each caress, An hundredfold of tenderness! Hearts like hers were made to bless! Tell her so!
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 so!
Never let her heart grow cold— Richer beauties will unfold; She is worth her weight in gold! Tell her so!
