Thankful for my wife

I am thankful for my wife. Today is my 4th anniversary of the day we got married in Flagstaff Arizona. She is truly a gift from God. She is one of the best things that ever happened to me. So I wrote a poem for her, here it is. I hope that you enjoy it too.

Four years ago today, how happy I was 
to marry my beloved, my head all abuzz.
She is the love of my life,
so I made her my wife 

Wife is not what the world makes of it
She is not my property, it's her choice to submit
In submitting, she honors and gives me respect
My job is to guide, to lead, and reflect

We both love Jesus, so we make him our Lord 
and study his Word to life in one accord 
The Bible does guide in all that we do
So we live life to the fullest because it is true

The truth of the cross sets all us free
No longer a slave defines you and me
No one is more loving than God with your soul
If you come to him broken, he makes you whole

marriage is not about you or your spouse
It's not about riches, how big is your house
It's about loving each other by serving God that created
till he comes a second time, I wait with breath bated

If you don't know Jesus, I wish that you would
He is so perfect, so strong and so good
Pain will come, but whatever betide 
Let it always be said that my Lord will provide
What is before us now, we really can't say
But I do know that my love for her will grow everyday
Spending many more years loving God with my spouse
Especially now that we will have three in the house

Happy anniversary my lovely wife. You are my life and I plan to serve Jesus till the day we are separated by death. But we both really know that death is only a temporary separation. We will see each other in heaven, but remember, I am outliving you so that I can take care of you until your last breath is spent.
