To My Wife

Valentines is a very special day
To you my love I wish to say

Through this poem I offer thee
My heart for all eternity

My life is now a journey true
I live to simply honor you

My mission is to rise above
Symbolize the beauty of love 

To be a knight in armor bright
In defense of all that is right

Penning my soul for all to see
I cherish the soul bound to me

These words I pen are words so true
The man I am I owe to you

You delivered me from my plight
A soul lost in the dark of night

Taught me to love as well as see
The love of Christ inside of me

Antoinette your life is my quest
I vow to do my very best

To be a man who lives his life
In admiration of his wife
