Stephen Tefft Poet Sonnet

For My Wife

I know you’re scared that nobody loves you
And you are frightened that you’re all alone
And how you pray to the God above you
In hope a little kindness might be shown

I know your past continues to haunt you
And you’ve got baggage you cannot let go
You but wish another heart might want you
But fear that’s something you will never know

Try to change, maybe someone will notice
Try to purchase their affection with gifts
Down on your knees you light every votive
Spending all your nightly dreams on what if’s

But, my dear, if you will look you will see
How I choose to love you eternally
