A Sonnet To My Wife

A SONNET TO MY WIFE

Do you ever wonder why I do
The little things I do for you

It's because I love you, with a love that's true
A love no other can give to you

It's to keep a smile upon your face
And assure you no one can take your place

I love the way you wear your hair
The way you hold me whenever I'm there

I love the way you kiss my lips
The tender touch of your fingertips

So just remember, as you face each day
My love for you will always stay

Pure, unceasing – love without end
You're more than a lover – you're my best friend

Thank you Rachael, and welcome as well. I believe this is your first visit to my work. I appreciate your comment and support. Ironically, my wife and I had previous marriages and we both have daughters named Rachel. Thanks again for your comment, and Merry Christmas!
