My Wife, You Hold My Very Life

My Wife, You Hold My Very Life You rest my weary soul you do in the mist of your love I wonder at the bessings you send my way I truly and sincerely do Wonderous are your charms and gay laughter yes, it was always your love I was after Yes, we watched the sunset to our own paradise in the sweet heaven together we made I marvel at your spirit that wrapped me into bliss yes, it was your love and hope that gave me this! Storms of passion, truth's love revealed and you that stayed You rest my worries upon your steady wisdom and wit in loving you waste not a bit I rest my life in the love ,family and life we made in the blessed home we share A mountain of love resides ever so deeply there! my darling , my wife, you made my world , my life! Robert L. 05-09-2014 Free verse is fun.... even easier when smitten with love and grace of a truly fine woman..

Wow! What a special poem Robert. I always admire a man who shows such love for his wife. This is a wonderful tribute to a person I can see is a very special person. Have a wonderful Mothers Day with your family.

Thank you friend. A very wonderful holiday to you and yours too. I wrote it for my wife and she walked up behind me as I wrote the last line. I never heard her there behind me but hug and big kiss told me soon enough!

Thanks my friend. She deserves greater but this offering will just have to do. At least for now. Perhaps a future will see me better prepared to do her justice in words..

Thanks. So well and truly deserved they are! She deserves even better but I lack that talent to express it as it should be..
