MY WIFE …. MY WOMAN ……… MY SWEETHEART

Mother’s day is drawing near,

Of course, that makes me think of you, my Dear.

And as I think of you, my attention is turned to Proverbs Thirty-one,

Wherein the Creator painted a picture of a woman who was like what you have become.

As I read God’s portrait of what a woman should and ought to be,

I am humbled as I realize that is exactly what God has given to me.

My partner in life ….. you, my adorable wife.

It is a lovely passage about truth, honor, and grace,

All of which I see reflected in your lovely face.

It is a portrait of a wonderful mother and wife,

One who honors God in every area of life.

A summary of sterling character, integrity , love and devotion,

And a glimpse of one who always seems to be in perpetual motion.

Forever busy with her overwhelming responsibility,

and meeting it with her amazing capability, dependability and ingenuity.

The husband in God’s portrait was a man of good reputation,

But there was clearly a stipulation.

His good name was greatly and forever enhanced,

By her character, impressive skills, gracious heart ……her life stance.

Thank you for allowing God to use you to influence my walk,

Gently nudging me along life’s path ……. quietly and lovingly influencing my talk.

Skillfully helping me maintain perspective, as I tend to focus on the hereafter,

you remind me of the here and now, without embarrassing me with too much laughter.

The years have passed, and the kids are grown and have gone away,

But, we now have new babies to love, enjoy and over which we pray.

I sometimes think that we seem to be nearing life’s setting sun,

But then I watch you in your quest for PhD and realize you are far from being done

You are now and have always been my inspiration …….

And your winning attitude has inspired my perspiration and removed my hesitation.

Your complete and total love, commitment and dedication…….

Have enabled us to enjoy our daily celebration.

  Thank you so very much ……. And Happy Mother’s Day
