Notes About The Poem

When it's right, it's right.

My Life My Wife My Lady

My Life My Wife My Lady
With love, to Barbara

You were my life, my wife, my lady
For sure, you were a  Southern Belle
Over fifty years together
There's so many tales to tell

You lived your life with love and grace
Honored everything you did
I married you in sixty-nine
Said our vows, put on the lid

I had found my one true love 
I wasn't looking any more
We danced the dance of wedlock
And we twirled around the floor

I was so proud you were my wife
Proud to have you on my arm
You lit up every place you went
Your life's fire, four alarm

Though trim and short in stature
In all you did, you had your say
Mostly led, sometimes you followed
Set good examples every day

You always gave me confidence
That I could do most anything
My love for you is endless
And I'll always wear your ring

God has taken you to Heaven
You've passed through the pearly gates
I'll carry on and make you proud 
Until my own life here abates

Then we'll meet again glory
Where we'll spend eternity
You're still my life, my wife, my lady
And forever, you will be
