You Are

You are
my inspiration,
woman of my contemplation,
a compilation
of what I define as beautiful.

You are
a reason for my daily smile
and in every way
you bring me lasting joy.

You are
why I keep improving,
why I keep persisting
to be not just me but
what you truly need.

You are
another reason that I breathe.

You are
a reason I grow stronger.
I'm more patient.
My love endures longer.

You are
why I work in this world,
who I come home to see,
welcoming me,
this wonderful girl.

But more.

You are
the woman of my life.
My only excuse to have
an exceptional wife.

You are
a reason for me to love,
to thank Jehovah above
for providing me with you.

And I love you so
because you are
you.
