It's You

Poet: David V. Bush

When my soul's engulfed in darkness;
When the tears begin to flow;
When words seem not to comfort;
When no one else can know
Just why my heart is aching,
And cannot understand;
I seek thee, life's companion
In fancy feel thy hand.
My heart is stirred and warmed,
I know you're the friend so true;
In spirit still you guide me,
My loving wife, it's you.

Forever Yours

Poet: Byron Pulsifer

My dearest love, my heart is true,
Each day begins and ends with you.
Through every joy, through every strife,
I’m yours for all my days of life.

I promise now, as I did before,
To love you deeply, and even more.
Through sunshine bright and storms that rage,
Our love will grow with every age.

Forever yours, I’ll stand by your side,
With faith, with hope, with endless pride.
Together we’ll walk, hand in hand,
Our bond eternal, as God has planned.

Wishing and Having

Poet: R. H. Stoddard

If to wish and to have were one, my dear,
You would be sitting now
With not a care in your tender heart
Nor a wrinkle upon your brow.

The clock of time would go back with you,
All the years you have been my wife.
Till its golden hands had pointed out
The happiest hour of your life.

Perhaps it will all come right at last,
It may be when all is done
We shall be together in some good world
Where to wish and to have are one.

My Precious Gift

Poet: Byron Pulsifer

My love, I thank you every day,
For your care in every way.
Your kindness shines, your love so pure,
A treasure in life, forever sure.

Through trials, you’re my steady guide,
With faith and grace always by my side.
Your laughter warms, your heart inspires,
A gift of love my soul desires.

In you, I see all joys combine,
A precious treasure, forever mine.
Thank you, my dear, for your sweet life,
God’s greatest blessing, my loving wife.

My wife, she is my best friend, I will love her to the very end! I Wanna Grow Old With You Poems

My Wife

Poet: Unknown

Our table is spread for two, tonight
No guests our bounty share;
The damask cloth is snowy white,
The services elegant and bright,
Our china quaint and rare;
My little wife presides,
And perfect love abides.....

My Quirky Queen

Poet: Byron Pulsifer

My wife, my queen, my greatest muse,
With her quirks, she keeps me amused.
From shoe collections to a snack-filled drawer,
She claims she needs just one pair more.

Her GPS? Oh, it’s quite a gem,
"I’m sure this shortcut’s faster than them!"
A scenic tour of roads unknown,
But laughter makes it worth the roam.

Laundry piles and a chore debate,
"I cooked, you clean," she’ll kindly state.
Yet somehow, dishes magically appear,
"Oops! I forgot this one, my dear."

She’s the sunshine on my cloudy day,
With humor that sweeps the blues away.
Our life’s a sitcom, love’s the theme,
With her by my side, we’re the ultimate team.

Compliment Your Wife

Making no unjust exactions......
