A very public valentine for my wife. Because I want her to know, that you all know, what I know…
I love you my Kathy.
There is a reason that wife rhymes with life
God’s design from the beginning
That the two become one
Never undone
Best prize to be won
A life well lived, shared together
The reason that life rhymes with wife
____________________
Many a role she has played, over the years to this day
A partner without equal
A mother, yes
A friend, the best
A lover, caressed
A sister in the faith
One who covers me when I stray, never fails to pray
____________________
Taking a journey or a stand, through the years hand in hand
She’s a companion much undeserved
In marriage, my bride
Over children, we’ve cried
Through my fears, a guide
A single day without, I cannot imagine
This life I could not withstand without her in that wedding band
____________________
On this day we are not done, many miles yet to run
The only race I never want to end
Promised love, I do
To our home, I’m true
My only love, is you
Words cannot express my heart
Regrets there are none, knowing our time has just begun
