               Gift of God

Of all thats given in this life
       I cherish most.... the gift my wife

Though sometimes lost in lifes storm tossed seas
        She anchored my soul on bended knees

When I wandered lost and could not see
        She kept her eyes on calvary

With tear stained face oblivious to pain
        She boldly called on Jesus name

Such humble love helped set me free
        To serve thee Lord eyernally
Now I glorify thee God in this life
         By the way I love my wife

A gift so precious given to me
        I cherish her.... and so love thee

That's so nice!  You should make a card out of it and give it to her - and watch the tears slide down her face.

 The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

What an endearing poem- for what certainly must be not only a very special- but also a very lucky lady!

Lovely, touching poem.  Welcome to passions.  Your wife is very lucky indeed.  I wish my husband felt that way.  You are very sweet to share it with us.  

 Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end.
