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.~ 5/26/2017

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

My wife is the greatest treasure of my life, everything she does is wonderful and so I wanted to be sure she knew she couldn't be more loved. thank you for your words. :)
