If you feel this way after 39 years of marriage, you have a winner! She sounds amazing and it's wonderful that you are perceptive and appreciative enough to voice your feelings. May you have many more years of joy and bliss together. We're going on 54 years in March.

I really enjoyed reading this contest entry you have penned about your bride and what you like best about her(woman). You used great heartfelt descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

Well, Author, you certainly are a lucky man, because she sounds like one exemplary lady! Definitely a one-of-a-kind, a true keeper. I haven't heard of a woman with that many true attributes in a long time. I think you should send that list to Disney.

Susan, Judge not and be yea not judged. It works for me, and heck she has put up with me for forty years. Some trial and error period, huh?

reply by susand3022 on 03-Jan-2023

Sweetie, I'm not judging! You got yourself a serious brass ring! That's rare! I don't know that I've ever seen a list like that before, not one that's not been just a wishful thinking kind anyway. Seriously, no judgement being made here! I couldn't be that good at everything if I tried.

This is a good entry to the contest. It shows what is important in a partner who is in it for eternity. I like the descriptions of the attributes and how you portrayed them. The toothpaste one was a stretch for me, but it is what it is.

Great job! I enjoyed this reading because it had me comparing myself to those attributes you delight in. The words flowed well together.

Thanks for your validation.

Comment from Helena Cheu

Good

This poem has a lot of potential to be very romantic. I like how it begins and ends with your wife. However, if this were mine I would cut the second and fourth stanzas because they just confuse the reader. They're ultimately disclaimers for a poem that doesn't need any disclaimers.

Somewhere in our self-focused society, we have lost what it means to be a wife, a woman, and a mother.
I wish we could all live up to your words.
Nice job.
