For the Love of My Wife



                                  For the Love of My Wife
My wife is wonderful, so many men often say,

Leaving me wonder if they will try to take her away.

She is fabulous, wonderful and all of those things,

My heart skips when I see her, and my soul it sings.

So much we have went through, so many a trial

And by my side she stayed all the while.

I love her so deeply, does she even know,

I love her from the first days of spring

To the last days of the winter’s snow.

In the end, I hope happy, I have made her in her life

because my happiness has been magnified by having her

as my wife.
