Suzanne Somers died Oct. 15 after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 76, and passed just one day before her 77th birthday.<\/p>\n

Her husband of 46 years, Alan Hamel, was by her side, and just before her death, he gave her a poem he had written in honor of her birthday. He made the choice to give it to her a day early, and the poem has since been made public.<\/p>\n

Shared with People in its entirety, Hamel began the poem, written in all caps, with, “LOVE I USE IT EVERY DAY, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I USE IT AT THE END OF EMAILS TO MY LOVING FAMILY. I EVEN USE IT IN EMAILS TO CLOSE FRIENDS. I USE IT WHEN I\u2019M LEAVING THE HOUSE.”<\/p>\n

“THERE\u2019S LOVE, THEN LOVE YOU AND I LOVE YOU!! THEREIN LIES SOME OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE USE LOVE. SOMETIMES I FEEL OBLIGED TO USE LOVE, RESPONDING TO SOMEONE WHO SIGNED LOVE IN THEIR EMAIL, WHEN I\u2019M UNCOMFORTABLE USING LOVE BUT I USE IT ANYWAY.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “I ALSO USE LOVE TO DESCRIBE A GREAT MEAL. I USE IT TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL ABOUT A SHOW ON NETFLIX. I OFTEN USE LOVE REFERRING TO MY HOME, MY CAT GLORIA, TO THINGS GLORIA DOES, TO THE TASTE OF A CANTALOUPE I GREW IN MY GARDEN. I LOVE THE TASTE OF A FRESHLY HARVESTED ORGANIC ROYAL JUMBO MEDJOOL DATE. I LOVE BITING A FIG OFF THE TREE. I LOVE WATCHING TWO GIANT BLACKBIRDS WHO LIVE NEARBY SWOOPING BY MY WINDOW IN A POWER DIVE. MY DAILY LIFE ENCOMPASSES THINGS AND PEOPLE I LOVE AND THINGS AND PEOPLE I AM INDIFFERENT TO.”<\/p>\n

“I COULD GO ON AD INFINITUM, BUT YOU GET IT. WHAT BRAND OF LOVE DO I FEEL FOR MY WIFE SUZANNE? CAN I FIND IT IN ANY OF THE ABOVE? A RESOUNDING NO!!!! THERE IS NO VERSION OF THE WORD THAT IS APPLICABLE TO SUZANNE AND I EVEN USE THE WORD APPLICABLE ADVISEDLY.”<\/p>\n

“THE CLOSEST VERSION IN WORDS ISN\u2019T EVEN CLOSE. IT\u2019S NOT EVEN A FRACTION OF A FRACTION OF A FRACTION. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE DOES NOT DO IT. I\u2019LL TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU DOESN\u2019T DO IT. I WEEP WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY FEELINGS FOR YOU. FEELINGS\u2026 THAT\u2019S GETTING CLOSE, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY.”<\/p>\n

He went on to describe their relationship, which spanned over several decades, writing, “55 YEARS TOGETHER, 46 MARRIED AND NOT EVEN ONE HOUR APART FOR 42 OF THOSE YEARS. EVEN THAT DOESN\u2019T DO IT. EVEN GOING TO BED AT 6 O\u2019CLOCK AND HOLDING HANDS WHILE WE SLEEP DOESN\u2019T DO IT. STARING AT YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE WHILE YOU SLEEP DOESN\u2019T DO IT.”<\/p>\n

The poem concluded with “I\u2019M BACK TO FEELINGS.\u00a0 THERE ARE NO WORDS. THERE ARE NO ACTIONS. NO PROMISES. NO DECLARATIONS. EVEN THE GREEN SHADED SCHOLARS OF THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS HAVE SPENT 150 YEARS AND STILL HAVE FAILED TO COME UP WITH THAT ONE WORD. SO I WILL CALL IT, \u2018US\u2019, UNIQUELY, MAGICALLY, INDESCRIBABLY WONDERFUL \u2018US.\u2019”<\/p>\n

A representative for Somers told People that while Hamel wrote the poem for her birthday, he “gave it to her a day early and she read the poem and went to bed and later died peacefully in her sleep.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reps for Hamel did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment about the poem<\/p>\n

In 2021, she spoke on Heather Dubrow’s podcast, gushing, “God, our relationship has always been amazing. But now that our kids are raised and it\u2019s just me and Al, and we paid for the tuition, we paid for the weddings and helped them get their start – now it\u2019s just us. Man, are we having fun.”<\/p>\n

“This is a powerful chapter,” she said later in the conversation. “This is the one where you are in love all the time. That\u2019s what I feel. I\u2019m in love all the time.”<\/p>\n
