Christopher Goss Poet Free verse

To My Future Wife

To the love of my life
My future wife
I know not who you are
Nor do I know if you're near or far
Maybe you're someone I've already met
Whatever the circumstances yet
I have a few things I'd like to say
On this cold January day

The road to you was hard
Leaving my soul and body scarred
But I've done my best to grow
And to be apart of life's great show
I battled with insecurities and weight
And blossomed a little late
But I've done my very best
To have my sins confessed

Sometimes I figured I ought to die
Without truly knowing why
I whittled away my self-confidence
With very little common sense
Depression wore down my heart
And poisons tried to tear it apart
Meeting you proves I'll have survived
To see my spirit finally revived

To the love of my life
My future wife
I seek shelter in optimism
But perhaps it's narcissism
To assume I'll even meet you
But even when I'm feeling blue
And though I feel wary
I know one day I shall marry

Caren Krutsinger January 14, 2019 at 9:57 PM Christopher, she is out there. She might be reading this poem in a day or two. Check your Soup Mail. There are so many women out there, waiting for Mr. Right. Make sure you are open to her. You certainly would not want to miss her with strong feelings like this.
