Ode to My Wife (Hallmark)

I myself am single and unmarried, but I wrote this when I was locked up. I got a lot of drakes cakes and Snicker bars for it though, and after I got out my boy asked me to write a poem for his wife from him on their first ann. so I gave him this... wanted to share, it's your typical Hallmark card type shyza but it worked

I remember the moment I said "I do,"​

For it was in that moment that all of my dreams came true;​

And in that moment I cried deep inside,​

Fearing that I didn't deserve her as my bride,​

And to this day I still fail to see​

How the love of an Angel could be given to me.​

​

My heart was a treasure with her as its thief;​

And the sky seems more beautiful as she walk underneath.​

Whenever I needed she was there at my side,​

Forever the source of my strength and my pride.​

Even in the worst she looks to the best,​

Yet another part that sets her apart from the rest.​

​

What I value above all, even diamonds and gold​

Is my future with her as we together grow old.​

It's my marriage alone that gives point to my life.​

For there's no force more powerful​

Then my love for my wife.​

 

Cool poem
