My Darling Wife

My Darling Wife Love me when I am weak, not strong Love me when I am stubbornly wrong Promise me this you will truly do I promise undying love for you Stand with me as I fight for more Stand with me from shore to shore Do this I ask with love in mind I promise love returned in kind Comfort me when misery prevails Comfort me when all goes to hell Do this small thing I sweetly ask I promise love rewards for this task Fly with me on a quest into life Honor me as my love , my darling wife Robert J.

this is so nice. It's different, not the usual I love you poem, but one that asks for "honor" as well as love. A good wife gives this!!

Thank you Andrea. I give honor and expect it returned as long as we are together, which is to my last moment on earth. We three are eternally linked, loved and safeguarded by Christ's love and our faith...

Thank you much! I try to be romantic now after ten years as I did on our first date! With an angel like my darling wife the task is pleasure and joy wrapped in sweet life..

She read it later and gave a great reward to me! And yes , she stands by me as a great wife always does the husband she loves.
