.

I do not require unlimited cash
Or all that it can do
There is only one thing that I ask
To spend my life with you

When we are in the twilight of our years
And youth is but a distant memory
I’ll still be here, so have no fear
Because you mean the world to me

For I Love you even more today
Than I did at the start
And forevermore you shall stay
Enshrined within my Heart
.

If more men wrote poems of love like this for their wives, there would be one heckuvvalot less divorces in this world!

~ Sweet, sensitive, and sentimental.

Hugs to you, Dear John,

Glad you like it, Thanks 'Bro...

Linda

Writing it is the easy part, carrying it out & meaning it is the bit that requires constant nurturing, as James Micheal consistently shows us....

Thanks for dropping by....

Dear John, this is beautiful. This should be the one you wrote on Valentine's day. Beautiful and directly from heart.

Wish you a happy day!!!

A joy to read, dear John! And yes to the continuous caring. But a man able to express his feelings like this is almost a guarantee for a lasting bond I would say!

Wonderful.

Tom my friend, you are so right. This is what I was trying to write for V day but I was obviously trying too hard because nothing would shake free. So I ended up writing 1 I was less than happy with but it got more replies than some of what I consider my better “stuff” . This came into being last night when my wife was at a church meeting & Rhiannon was sat doing Her homework. I was going through my old Cd collection to put on E bay & I was listening to a track called ‘ All I want to do’ & this came together in 10 minutes flat, So lesson learned there then ! You have a good day also, & thanks for the response....

Now you are making me blush! Seriously, I am glad it had that effect on you, ‘tis what I was aiming for....
My wife has not as yet seen it & I plan on keeping it until Her birthday, judging by the comments so far, I may even get a little peck on the cheek...

Ta !

It is good to see this poem resurface. Perhaps it might encourage more men (even if they are not a poet like yourself) to express their love for their wives such as you have so beautifully done.

If I were to have received a gift such as this from my 'was'band when he was my husband, I would have cross-stitched it, framed it, and hung it up on the wall! lol

Love and smiles to you, Dear John!

ILoveTheRain, and I love your name! I am pleased that you enjoy my offerings but in common with most ‘poets’ I guess, I do not consider my stuff to be that good. So when I get a comment like yours it makes it all the more special, I am sure you will come into your own one day, you just need to keep beavering away, thanks again…

Bobby, Thanks my friend, I do appreciate your taking the time to read & reply

Hope, Thank you for that lovely reply, much appreciated

James, I am honored to have such an accolade from he whom I consider to be the Hawaiin God of Love, seriously! Thanks

AW, Good morning to you, Glad you liked it, I never included chocolate as being one of my needs but that goe’s without saying, right? Thanks for the eyes….

Linda, You are too sweet….that good eh? Thank you, really I mean that…I cannot believe that excuse for a husband never did anything to make your heart do back flips…don’t know about cross stitches, I advocate nailing him to the wall……..

Well, you have to believe that you are good to know that you are. I come on this site looking forward to reading your poetry, along with other's. I'm at a young age, so soon maybe, I will be 10 times better!

I want writing to be one of my side works. I love it so much.
