For Wifey

I used to be hard for the world cause it told me I was soft
but you taught me how to cry how to take my armor off

how do more than dream how to think out of the box
How to love my self for real not just say it out my mouth

how to laugh at myself without getting so uptight
girl I love you till death cause you loved me to life

and even when we disagree,and I really work your nerves
moments later I realize you are more than I deserve

I can unload my secrets that's been bottled up for years
knowing they stay where I leave them cause it's only for your ears

you pushed me to be better than I ever would have been
and when I get comfortable you do it all again.

It's sad that you can count the flowers that I bought you on one hand
but you can't count how much I love you until numbers have a end

Very excellent tribute to your wife and I know that she appreciates the write. There was a film where the male star says "You Make Me Want To Be A Better Man" that is what true love is all about. Keep writing. Sara
