Loving her daily with compassion and care
For I am bedazzled with her and I dare
To be loved by only one, for she is my cheddar
With that very first kiss, my life became better
By no means afraid, to share with her my life
Holding her above all, for she is my wife
Wrapped in her arms, I escape life for a spell
In her soothing warmth, my love shall I dwell
A special period forever, saved in my mind
Always our memories, until the end of time
I held my breath still, until her lips said, “I do”
On July first 2001, forever my heart knew
No longer alone, two hearts became one
In good times and bad, in sickness and fun
We created a family; east coast meets the west
Though will never agree on which side is the best
Differing on ideas, family values and stuff
Finding the middle ground when times get tuff
Quite a pair we make, a fantastic duo, it’s true
Built on commitment, honesty, and a bit of super-glue
Remembering forgiveness in the back of my thoughts
Whenever it’s needed to mop up the spots
That life can bring throughout its many trips
For Lord without it, people would just flip
So, again I want to thank you for sending my wife
She is the beauty and sunshine that lights up my life
The colorful pedals on a fresh morning flower
Her everlasting love, which never goes sour
A dedication to my wife Marilyn
