Poem Title:
Poem
I do not understand the acceptance of what I assume to be a proven fact. I do not know if it is really true for most men, that they forget 'the vitals'. I'm speaking of the 'top of the list vital' such as wedding anniversaries*. How is it possible to forget one of the most important events of our lives? Anyway, I cannot speak for men, but as for me, I have never forgotten that date. Personally, it entailed an event second only to my acceptance and commitment to Christ. It was during the noon hour on a nice summer Saturday just North of The Windy City. Now, I could understand if my wife wanted to forget about 49 years of marriage with me. I have not been the best person to live with, and she has not been able to change me. I'm not exactly saying that she wanted to, but I cannot imagine it not entering her mind. After all, I am very stubborn, have perfectionist leanings, rather decisive, slightly insensitive, and very opinionated. Anyway, what I want to say is that my wife is the most loving, kindest, and Godliest person I know. There is no one who cares more about me and what happens to me. I would never have tried, but if I did, I could have never found a wife like mine over the internet. I will always believe that my wife was custom-made by God just for me. I know of no one coming closer to the lady described in The Book of Proverbs 31 than my dear wife. Oh, did I mention 'cheap'? I must confess that if there is anyone cheaper than me, he should not be allowed to walk the streets of America. In fact, there should be a law against him for his cheapness, because he would be bad for the economy. Even so, my sweet wife loves me just the way I am. I tell you, my bride believes in me, making me second only to The God in her life whom she loves passionately and serves with boldness. She has always sought the best for me, helping me to reach my full potential. Of this, there is no doubt. Behind this man is a good woman. And there's more...... 060521PS *Our 49th Wedding Anniversary, June 17
