For my wife





The light in your eyes

 so bright and clear

Is what I long to see

 as I draw you near

Knowing how much I care

 makes my life complete

Knowing how much you care in return

 launches my spirit into realms unknown

The touch of your fingers on my arm

 causes my heartbeat to increase

The feel of your hand in mine

 raises me to heights untouched

When I hold you in my arms

 I feel an indescribable exhilaration

 that never ends

As my lips meet yours

 my soul surrenders

I am yours now

 and forever more

I can never thank God enough

 for bringing us together

 I can only be the best husband

 I can be

Through you and with you

 have our children grown

 Into the people they are

You are my anchor

 my connection to reality

You are my best friend in the world

you are my confidant

You are my lover

you are my life

you are my wife

For this , I am eternally grateful

Accept this as it is given

With all of my heart

 with all of my love

Conrad Trudelle

I have been to more places than most people, I have done more things than most people, I have survived more things than most others have encountered. I have continually learned throughout this process and arrived at the conclusion that the differences we see keep us curious, and that keeps us alive. Never ever stop learning, and school and college is not the only place to learn, in fact it is limiting the amount and quality of knowledge we have. Communication is what makes this planet better, we have to learn to communicate better. Communication is not only content, but also delivery. talking to or with someone is totally different than talking at them. more…
