''My Dear Wife''

What is a wife but part of me.
                                 Two made one by God you see.     
                                          A breathless love
                                          A soothing calm
                                          A sweet savor
                                          A healing balm
                               A care that knows no place to stop
                                            A drip of honey
                                           A constant drop
                                     A patience that has no end
                                 No matter how the road may bend
 
                                  A love so sweet no words can say
                                  For which no riches ever could pay
                                     Companion,lover,healer,friend
                                        A helper always to the end
                                 Though weaker sex supposed to be
                                   Always stronger it seems to me
                                 Advisor in times of trouble strong
                                    Forgiving when I do her wrong
                                                          
                                    Words can never serve you see
                                  To describe the woman God gave to me
                                     But love for her that lives in me
                                            Will be for all eternity
