This is another poem I wrote to my wife.

You fill my needs with tenderness,
today and all year through.
My existence would be worthless,
and meaningless without you.

You inspire me in every way,
and have never criticized.
Even if you'de never say,
I could see it in your eyes.

You have a certain gentleness,
and a very caring heart.
I can always sense your presence,
at times when we're apart.

You stand by me, through good and bad,
I often wonder why.
Some of those times were very sad,
and forgiven with a sigh.

You are my joy, my hope, my love,
the most precious one you see...
Tonight I thank the Lord above,
He has given you to me.
