Notes About The Poem

My Bride

To paint from memory a portrait of beauty
none more vivid artwork than you, my bride
Your unbound smile was a sea of diamonds
carrying my heart up with every lifting tide

As vows, we spoke you blushed so sweet
there your warm hands I held so dear in mine
I found profound love within your soft eyes
that after all this time still brightly shine

In a crowd of faces, there was only you
I drew you close to claim you with a kiss
In close, I offer a gift of words, my love
life with you has been nothing short of bliss


~An Anniversary gift to my wife, Molly.~

tell me it's still magical even at 41. Life seems full of broken down marriages along the road and for a dreamer who wants 40 years or more with his wife it's disheartening.

Jesse: Boy would my wife like to get something like this from me. I'm more of a "silly stuff" rhymer. This was great, keep them coming. oldbuck
