A Loving Heart At times I sit alone and think of how my life’s been spent Of all the many things I’ve done and what it all has meant How fortunate that I have been to have the life I’ve had To be a son, a brother, and I hope, a loving Dad I've been blest in many ways along the road of life And I am truly thankful to have shared it with my wife She’s been my loving partner and my very treasured friend And when my journey’s over I hope she’s with me at the end Though it hasn’t all been easy we have always stood the test And when I’m down it seems that she is always at her best A better one to share life with I know I couldn’t find And I am overjoyed to have my heart with her entwined I hope that through the coming years as we grow old and gray That she and I will be together each and every day The shining golden nugget band I gave her at the start Seems a very tiny payment for a gentle loving heart |

What a sweet, sweet poem...and perfect meter, phrasing and rhyming! I would venture a guess that she's pretty lucky, too. ![]() |
