I’ve waited for a lifetime for someone to be true Then stumbled on a pot of gold, which turned out to be you You gave my heart a longing, a purpose and its beat You gave my mornings sunshine and wings upon my feet You gave me thoughts of nonsense, a smile and words of joy You’ve given me some years of hope and so much to enjoy You’ve been my love, my anchor, which holds me true to life Today, that pot of gold I found, with pride I call my wife (Written for a friend of mine about to get married, a small reading he will read to his beloved on the day). |

I have a feeling your friends smile a lot - especially in seeing that you added a little "nonsense" to this rhyme...and what a marriage cannot do without... a keeper... |

God, I loved this. This is what a wife should be...all these things, this guy is one lucky fella...! " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |

Thanks everyone, it will be nice to hear it read at the wedding next month, a small piece of me will start their time of marriage and hopefully good times. I love you all as my friends, many hugs and best wishes. Rick |

I had to bump this one back up. This is so wonderful. To write for a wedding is not an easy task. I admire your participation, and personal dedication here Rick and I think "The Wife to Be" will be elated! Sincerely, Regina |
