Analysis of 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
