In the middle of a noisy TV set,
I found a woman, a brilliant star like you.
Mariska, your name lights up on the screen,
But for me, you are the heart, the sun in the sky.

With your laughter lighting up every step,
On and off stage, you’re a hit.
As Olivia Benson, you fight for justice,
But to me, you are love, beauty and magic that lasts forever.

When I look at you, it makes me laugh,
Because every day with you is a fresh adventure.
With your humor and light spirit,
You make my heart beat faster.

At any moment, at any hour of the day,
You are by my side, with true love and hope.
Mariska, you are the light that illuminates my path,
And I am happy to have you by my side as my husband.

So let’s laugh and love each day more,
Because you, my love, are everything I always look for and love.
In this simple poem, I want to tell you,
How much I love you, Mariska, in every moment and every scene.
