A Lost Letter To My Wife
Time has changed me, I now know that you have changed as well.
And I would do what you would now say.
A second chance from you I would ask as things with you have changed as well.
As I once gave them fish so we were blessed to be there for,
my love for you.
Because you are still

Happy 50th Birthday To My Wife
You've lived half a century, girl,
would you believe it?
No doubt life seems like a whirl
or do you feel you're in deep sh**?
Fifty summers, fifty winters,
over half spent with Lenny--
just proves there's no free dinners
cause livin' with me is not all glee!
You have awakened to fifty springs,
seen fifty times the leaves fall--
cared little for baskets of

Miklos Radnoti Translation of the Holocaust Poem Letter To My Wife
Letter to My Wife
by Miklos Radnoti
translated by Michael R. Burch
A poem written during the Holocaust in Lager Heidenau, in the mountains above Zagubica, August-September, 1944
Deep down in the darkness hell awaits--silent, mute.
Silence screams in my ears, so I shout,
but no one hears or answers, wherever they are;
while sad Serbia, astounded by war,
and you are so

A Sonnet To My Wife
A SONNET TO MY WIFE
Do you ever wonder why I do
The little things I do for you
It's because I love you, with a love that's true
A love no other can give to you
It's to keep a smile upon your face
And assure you no one can take your place
I love the way you wear your hair
The

Diane,
What you know about physics and calculus wouldn't fill a thimble.
What you know about love and goodness overflows my heart,
Every day.
I love you,

A Lie To My Wife
for the second time in a row
I arrived home late in the morning
I looked at the watch
- 2 a.m. in the morning!
I looked at my sleepy wife but didn’t
know what to say
so I told her a lie...
.. that I wasn’t with Rihanna
that I had been with Nelly
since 2 pm that day
that

Sonnet For Mother's Day To My Wife and Daughters
(Written about 2005, as a sonnet, but I cannot recall why I used 13 rather than 14 syllables per line. Maybe Petrachan? Forgive me if it fails the sonnet test.)
For My Wife and Daughters: STREAMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
eighty percent water in me wants unity here
oscillating in bones, gurgling words in my bloodstream,
verging on vigorous waterways,

Tribute To My Wife
1 Peter 3:1
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
[Ye wives, be in subjection] Consider that your husband is, by God's appointment, the head and ruler of the house; do not, therefore,

A Letter to my Wife, Dear Joey
By Joeysguy
I lived with my mother for part of my life
Then I married and you became my wife
We both repeated the words I do
My promise to always love you
With the wedding band and saying I Do
My heart and soul I gave to you
On the finger of your left hand

Don’t Stop, A Letter To My Wife
Dear Barbara
I have attempted to shield you from uncaring and mean spirited people, thinking that I was helping you.
I have tried to coral and box you in, caution and counsel you, thinking that I was helping you.
I have often sought to change you, delay you, detour you,

To My Wife
Never would I have dreamed of this
Inconceivable life we have built together
Not by any stretch of the imagination
Even through the difficult times, we held fast
You have blessed my life with beauty
E...n with his curiosity and laughter
A...n with his brilliant mind and creativity
Reveals the wonderful union of you and me.
So blessed am I, because of you.

A Quatret To My Wife
A Quatret To My Wife
When hell has frozen over,
And Hades’s dogs sleep quiet,
Love’s plant the blessed clover,
Will bloom a mossy riot
Love’s urgent thrust’s a miser,
Brings lovers’ secret moan,
But woman’s touch, a riser,
Tis butter on a scone
And with this love I worship,
The path on which we walk,
Our voyage is such a fair ship,
Does vex all others’

To My Wife
She wore kindness, forgiveness and the romance crown,
Loved her when she laughed, yelled, groan, cried or croon,
Silliness, jokes, laughs, rivers of love, kisses above us flown,
Young lovers we were, holding hands, with devotion upgrown.
I was once lost in the darkness of life, and gave up the fight,
She hold my hands,
