The Wife's Prayer
This dear man has made a promise
To love me and me alone.
Let me not ever forget that
Nor the promise of my own.
He has expected me to give him
All the love he'll ever need
May we never fail the other
And our oaths be true indeed.
Let me not take love for granted.
Help me watch the words I say.
Let him know he is as cherished
As he was our wedding day.
