a poem for my love

When you write a poem write one for me

My love said as I lay down on the bed

I closed my eyes to see what I could see

And visions of her danced inside my head

She's strong and brave and kind, my darling wife

She smiles and launches ships by accident

I’m blessed to be with her to share my life

A quarter of a century well spent

There’s so much more to her than meets the eye

although the eye is happily well met

She focuses on do and not on try

She understands the equity of sweat

I’m proud to be the man to hold her hand

And by my wedded bride I’ll always stand
