As a child I never thought to be just a wife,
I had grandiose dreams, would make great strides.
A nurse, a teacher, an interior decorator,
A singer, a dancer, a writer, a wrestler.
I never thought, as a child,
I would fall so completely in love.
I want to be your woman, your wife and love.
Your partner in crime,
Your lover, your friend.
Everyone talks, about women’s lib.
What is wrong, do they not know how to give?
There is something fulfilling, about being the wife,
Of this I am proud, and it’s what I want for my life.
Looking for artifacts,
Hunting and fishing,
Cooking outside,
On stars, I am wishing.
Down by the creek,
Watching fireflies,
It looks like Christmas,
In the trees and sky.
Listening to the water, go over the fall,
It can lull me to sleep, what a beautiful sound.
As we make love, by the creek, beauty abounds.
.
I thank God, for His grace,
His peace and love.
I thank God for all that I see around me.
Especially for you, and our family.
For the love of my life....
