To My Wife

Looking back on the time we shared,

Nothing else in my life has compared,

Ever since that day we walked down the aisle,

We have walked together for many a mile,

Joined together hand in hand,

Part of some much larger plan,

You have brought to my world such sheer delight,

Making my time on earth so sunny and bright,

I am so thankful for the time we spend,

Time together I hope will never end,

From the first time I saw your face,

I knew you were my saving grace,

Like a drowning man who’s been thrown a rope,

You’ve provided me such unending hope,

Casting my loneliness to the side,

Never once breaking your stride,

Like a gift from Heaven above,

I’m so thankful for your love,

A true love that will never fade,

I’m thankful for the love we made,

All the times we held each other tight,

Making love with all our might,

A special dance between the covers,

That could only be done by true lovers,

Thankful I have you to hug and hold,

Thankful for the passion you let unfold,

I pray this time with you will never end,

For it is time spent with my best friend,

So thankful for the joy you bring,

Symbolized by a wedding ring,

I know the best is yet to come,

Though we are two, we think as one,

For no matter what the future may bring,

I am proud it is you who wears my ring.
