Poetry
If I was asked to write a definition of a good wife, I would have to try to put down in pen and ink and explain you.
I realize yours has not been an easy job, as you’ve been a help meet to one of God’s unworthy, chosen few.
We have grown together over the years, and I know we both had a lot of maturing, sacrificing, we had to do.
Years down the road, through hardships, blessings, and some disappointments, we’ve both managed to make it through.
I want to thank you for all the kind deeds, and many thoughtful things, you did that to my shame went right over my head.
But you never stopped doing them for me, performing rather what was always best for me instead.
You selflessly raised all my children, helping them to be successful in school, with very little problems to me.
You have been everything I could have desired in a wife, and more than I ever could have wished you to be.
I realize that at times I must have been very difficult in my best state for you to have to dwell.
Even though at times I’m sure it appeared that this was a nigh impossible mountain to scale.
I want to tell you that I admire the grace that the Lord has put in you, and I have been able to watch this grow.
Not like some that are just good actors, and in front of others knows how to put on their best show.
No, you are in fact genuine, not perfect, but I’m fully convinced that you want to please the Lord, and are most sincere.
That is one of the reasons we have been able to overcome obstacles placed in our path by those we thought were dear.
In retrospect I have none but fond memories of the life the Lord has given us that we have been able to share.
For there have been so many wonderful occasions, and I’m so glad we were willing to pay the fare.
The Lord gave me one chance to have a good wife, and I can’t praise him enough for how much I’ve been blessed.
I pray that I will in a small way be able to love you as Christ loved the church I have to strive daily to pass that test.
The desire is there however, I muse on that verse, and the meaning of it quite often while I’ve been on this course.
It shows me how much I must depend on him, and his strength, for there is nothing good in me, he is my only source.
You are my sister in Christ, a mother to my children, my help meet in all things, a dear friend, plus a wife.
You have been a wonderful companion to me, as we’ve travelled toward that heavenly city in this life.
I hope this will encourage you some, as too often we take things for granted and don’t always say things that we should.
I would not alter our narrative (except for sin) one word, God has written our book, and all has been for our good.
