The Flower in My Life

62

By richtwf


This is my 111th hub

and dedicated to my wife:


The Flower in My Life


Numbers - I love!

A few I can think of

very important to me

like this one especially:

one hundred and eleven.

It’s a number from heaven

significant to me cos on 11/1

a very beautiful someone

was born that special date

and to meet was our fate.


That someone is my life.

She is my darling wife

and makes me happy.

(She’s fun and (sometimes) very naughty!)

but she’s the one who completes me.


A thorny rose she is indeed!

(Certainly no unsightly weed!)

Bees busily buzz around her

in hope of taste of honey nectar!


A simple and faithful wife she is

who adores a warm hug and tender kiss.

Yearns only for a life of togetherness

and hopes of true loving family bliss.


Apart are we separated by much land and sea.

Time passes both very slowly and very quickly.

We fight through paper and bureaucracy

(and tolerate a womanising attorney!).

But despite all hardship and difficulty

we remain steadfast and wait patiently.


All good things come to those who wait

and whatever happens - it is our fate.

So we endure what we must

and the rest in God we trust.


Knowing our wait will come to an end

and that our lives we will spend:

No more distant separation and desolation

but one of celebration and aspiration.


My beautiful and enduring wife:

You are the flower in my life.

Your heart is pure and full of love.

A true blessing from above.


An angel sent from heaven

born on January Eleven.

I cannot forget this date

the start of your life’s journey

towards sealing our fate.


I love you.

(and God loves you too!)

Wow , what a beautiful poem and tribute to your wife . She should be so proud of you and will be waiting to be together with open arms. It must be sad to be apart but with the love you have for each other you will never be apart. She will remain in your heart.

Excellent and touching Hub!

God Bless you and your wife!
