For My Wife <br /> <br />I’m writing this poem to tell you <br />Just how much you mean to me <br />I’m writing to say I love you <br />Sentimental as that may be <br />Your more precious than any gift <br />That I will ever receive <br />Your my morning, my night <br />And the air that I breathe <br />You’re the mother of our children <br />A friend when I’m lonely <br />Your strong when I am weak <br />Your everything I’ll ever need <br /> <br />You’re the ray of sunshine <br />When I wake each day <br />With fingers gently on my brow <br />You take all my troubles away <br />You’re my friend, my companion <br />But most all your my wife <br />You are what I live for <br />Each and everyday of my life <br />Your everything good in my world <br />And much, much more <br />There are no words to say how much <br />Your just everything I’ll ever need <br /> <br />29 Feb 1996<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everything-i-ll-ever-need/
