I search the world over,

find adventures but never love

until I see your smile.

You are an angel from above.

I speak from my heart, “I love you.”

As your smile takes my breath away,

I see my angel walk the earth,

And I have loved you every day.

For a while, I was lost in war.

You stood by me through all the strife,

the turmoil of a troubled mind.

Yet, your love gives me strength, my wife.

Our years together, with time stealing tears,

when life laughed at our lives,

when even faith trembled,

our love survived.

I see the grey within your hair,

the winters have been kind.

Your smile still shakes my knees.

“I love you,” wife of mine.
