My World

I have built my world around you
Brick by brick I watched it grow
How I lived before without you
Darling I shall never know

These past years we’ve been together
Have been the happiest of my life
The greatest joy I did encounter 
Was when you became my wife

Life is tough it’s never easy
But with you there by my side
I can face its bitter moments
And hold my head up high with pride

Arm in arm we’ll walk together
Side by side we shall lay down
Hand in hand each precious moment
Sharing every smile and frown

The gift you gave us of our daughter
Is one that I cannot repay
What pleasure dear it is to see her
Smiling at us every day 

Oh my darling how I love you
 And I love our daughter too                                                                                                                            
 I’m so happy that I’m sharing                                                                                                                            
Every single day with you

Thank you Vera it is simplistic in its creation maybe even cliche, but it did come from my heart and flowed effortlessly onto the page. Thank you and Peter for your support, it is most appreciated. Andy

Well, if this is your world Robert, life's good. Wonderful tribute to your wife and your life. This has more of a couplet or rhyming scheme to it than free verse. Just a note. I'm not much of a stickler for poetic style protocol. Such a nice poem Robert. Enjoyed. Peace. :)
