The One



Every so often, a dream comes to life.
You find the perfect mate, and she becomes your wife.

The woman that I love is always by my side.
I hit the romance jackpot when she became my bride.

I love to give her flowers, surprise her just for fun,
Simply to remind her – She's always been the one!

© Criss F. Rosenlof 11/13/2012
-The greatest joy in my life is making my wife smile.One of the ways I do that, is to randomly send flowersto her office. It always brightens her day, whichmakes me happy.
