To My Wife...I love you.

I thought about you today
The warmth of your cheek against mine
You fingers held within my own
A pleasant memory on a cold and blustery day

Dear heart I love you
The beauty of your smile bewitches
Time defied
I was denied
Fading dreams in growing puddles

rain.

Dearest love
I love to love you
Secret smiles and knowing looks
Romance in a moment
I closed my eyes and thought of you

A someday girl
A someday dream
You eat and sleep and breathe and live and grieve
Alive and apart
You are somewhere
Somewhere you are
You are.

Yesterday you might have stubbed your toe
The day before you may have cried
Last week you might have played in the rain
Today I'd like to think you're loving God

Because who knows what tomorrow brings?

He does.

And perhaps tomorrow is the day.

I think I'll go shave, and shower and pray.

Until then my someday girl, my love, my wife.

I'll miss you until then.

Respect is asked for, given and understood... :)

    You shouldn't post this sort of perfect expression of beautiful things on All Poetry. You'll have all the single girls that read it falling in love with you.

    Just kidding.

    But it is perfect. Almost sacred in its purity. Not kidding.

      Thank you for the compliment. I haven't had anyone fall in love with me lately, but I suppose I should be more careful in the future...

    I have to confess...this is the second time I read this poem. I think it's a beautiful tribute to your (still future?) wife. I know that as long as you let God do the matchmaking, you will find the one He made for you. May you be so richly blessed.

        Thank you, if I should pull it off, I'll let you read it first, not for comparison's sake, but just because of your kindness to allow me the priviledge-thanks again

    Ok...you have me in tears. This is so beautiful, tender and the wait must be almost unbearable at points. But you wrote this piece such a graceful quality and the reality slips in between your dreams. But your artistry is admirable and I see your dream before me. I could almost touch her. Maybe...tomorrow a silhoute will be standing at your door. You will not know, until the moment you open the door, what lays beyond.

    Blessings & Joy,
    Doris

    Beautiful, very touching and endearing. You do have a really unique way of putting things, I doubt that many people would have thought to write about the love they seek in such a way.

    This was wonderful, Quite an imagination you have, remembering the little things...yet to be remembered, loving her when you haven't even met her yet.

    I thought this was very creative. I loved the poem and the idea of writing it before you even met her. Yessa! PL

    Your wife must be very pleased with the sentiments in this poem.

    You write well with emotion and a vivid vocabularly. I like the way you space your poem into chunks of meaning.

    This is a delight to read.

    oh my.. how beautiful! i have written things like this before.. except for a future husband. thinking about the littel things like her stubbing her toe, or what her day is like is wonderful.... going along side by side in your daily living while still not knowing each other.

    Beautiful

    This is truly beautiful, It's well written, down to earth, and really romantic. Usually, I wouldn't care for poems such as this type, I almost passed it up, but I'm glad I didn't because if I had I would be missing some magnificent work. Very inspiring and I hope you never change it... just magnificent.

    Some poems beg for critiques (at least of the helpful, constructive kind). Other simply do not.

    This doesn't. It is private, personal, and says precisely what the speaker intends--and does so beautifully. But I much say (critically) that the "shave, and shower and pray" line is perfect. It brings the ethereal down to the real, allows it to hover there an instant, the draws it upward again. Marvelous line.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Romantic!! *sigh* I really think you should compile a book with these especially for your future wife, she'd love that! She'd be not to!!! I like the way you talk about the things you imagine her to be doing...it's cute.

    HUGS,
