Wife

To My Wife

On April 7th these words were said do I take this woman to be my wife
I said yes for the rest of my life
There was a time when our love was lost awhile
You gave me a daughter I gave you a smile
Some years went by and now our family totals to five
We can see and feel our love thrive
Our marriage has not always been the best
But I like to think it’s a love nest
The past years were difficult and have not been good
But the next hundred years will be better as they should
With all the love I have for you
A good life I must, I have too
I have not forget our little three
Before they leave I hope better things they will see
Patience understanding and love I need
To make all my dreams succeed
My love for you is honest and true
Is it the same with you too
Joey my love and Joey my wife
For all our years you were and are my life
In a hundred years when we depart
In heaven another love we will start
My love for you is plain to see
Your my love happy anniversary

As these anniversaries come round, the thoughts of that day and the thoughts of your past will always surface. Barbara, Patricia and James fill the void on this day, to continue the bond of your past >> James
