'I Am Thankful For'

    Thanks go first and last to my wife
       My best friend, companion
          the love of my life

    She sticks with me through thick and thin
       Which boggles my mind
          reflecting on the jams we’ve been in

    She tells me her darkest secrets, no matter how awful
       I, in turn, return the favor ~
          We've been through a 'jawful'

Such a loyalty and love for one's partner shared with emotion and love. I hope she read this one maybe a little treat in return........... like apple pie that is, smile...

A very touching tribute to your wife. I enjoyed reading this today. Always nice to know when spouses have each others backs. Best of luck in the contest Gershon. This one looks like a winner to me. Bigs smiles, Anne :-)
