To My Wife

What did I do
To deserve you?
You are an angelic blessing,
You blossom anew each season
As you find new strengths for new struggles.
Your loving, radiant smile kindles and warms,
And your inviting, dark eyes love and tease and smolder.
You have strength in spirit that burns like white fire,
you are kind and compassionate,
and beautifully vulnerable.
Wife, mother, sister, friend, human,
and God’s little girl,
I celebrate each imperfection
as my own perfect creation.

True love is the devotion to the imperfections of others they say ... your poem confirms that observation all the way ... for true love makes pure by making self demure ... I pray your wife feels this write and know the sincerity of your love. May you together both be blessed.
