Diamonds Or Gold

When I first met you
all those years ago. 
I never would have guessed
honey,did you know?
 
We're still going strong 
there's no end in sight.
Your still the spoon 
I want late at night.

I want to scoop you up 
and put you in my bed. 
I know what you want.
No words need to be said.

I know my lady inside.
I know my girl out.
That's why you love me.
I know you inside and out.

When it's late at night
and your fast asleep.
When your nestled in my arms
I know I'm in to deep.

There's a fire in our hearts
that will never die.
No one could ever put it out 
and they better not try.

It gets better and better
as we grow old.
Your love is more precious
then diamonds or gold.

I want to keep you safe.
I call you my own. 
I want to return to you
all the love I'm shown.

Your the last thought I have
when I sleep at night
and the first thing I reach for
come the morning light.

It can't be any better
in any ones life.
To still love the same girl
that you call your wife.

Note: For my dear friends. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you and God bless.

How lucky your wife is to have a husband who not only appreciates her, but also sings her praises in poetry. LOVE this poem, Allan!
