There have been so many poems about love break up, and pain
So I thought I should prevent the opposite side of the coin!
When so many years ago I said I do
I meant it then and it is still true
You’ve always been the one for me
From the moment I asked you on my knee
When times were rough you held me high
Trusted me to never say good-bye
Stood by my side in good and bad
Shared all the sorrow and joy we had
Popped me up when I was down
Even tolerated my occasional frown
Laughed politely at old jokes I told
Gave me warmth when I was cold
When life was tough and pretty bad
You were uplifting instead of mad
When my parents moved on I cried
But you were always on my side
Your greatest gift, children one to three
For that I forever thank you on my knee
As a lover you made me proud
Let me float on that seventh cloud
You are mother, wife and friend
And my love for you will never end
When the time comes where I have to go
There is something you will need to know
Even though I may not be around anymore
My love will be with you forevermore

A fine write Fred.
Kind of mushy, but thank you anyway orchidee!
Good write and very true for me as well. I like mushy.
Thanks Goldfinch! I guess we are soul mates! (In a friend way, of course)
And for me - great to read something that is uplifting and celebrates love- super write.
Thank you Michael, for your very kind comment. I am glad you are in the same boat as Goldfinch and I!
I am indeed - my wife and I are one and the same and have been for over 50 years now.
Wow Michael, congratulations!!!!!!
We will be married for 41 years this September. Have to make sure not to forget the date, have been guilty of that too many times.
One day, my wife had a beautiful dinner on the table with a good bottle of wine and I had to ask "what is the occasion" before I realized what day it was!
Beautiful poem for your wife Fred.
Many a man scoffs at the thought of being a romantic. But love for one woman will be his biggest weakness, while also his greatest strength. Just something I've learned over the last 50 years.
Thank you AP, you are so right. It is our greatest weakness as well as our greatest strength. I am just grateful that it worked out the way it did.
Purely beautiful. True romance. I love this poem. It is fabulous!
Thank you Aa! I am a romantic (can't help it!) and sometimes I do get carried away.
I am a romantic too, so I completely understand.
Congratulations on finding your soulmate.
Peace, love and empathy.
Fred i love this. So honest and open. You are a lucky man to have such a great lady by your side and so too is she and blessed with your poetic love.
Thank you so much da! I know I am lucky, and I guess she might be lucky too. In any case, after 40 plus years of marriage it would be kind of late to worry about that now. I know it came out kind of mushy, but I happen to feel that way about her and that is it!
Thanks for your kind comment!
She would probably tell you that she kind heartedly tolerates you because she wouldn't like to see you homeless, it's the feminine way.
A very sweet write!
Thank you so much, Shannon!
Mushy is my fave. Guys are afraid of being mushy but most of the girls like mushy. With sincerity of course. I love this Fred specially when you say she laughs from your old jokes. We all repeat old jokes and expect closer people to laugh again and again. Very sweet of you to drip from your heart a confession publicly. Lucky you two to have encountered each other.
Thank you Malu, yes I know why I married her, still wondering sometimes why she married me though!
Now you ask her to write for you.
She is not very good at expressing her thoughts in writing. She shows me her love in many other different ways.
Wow! Even better.
Wow, true love indeed. Deep, soft, warm, and long lasting. You can't ask more than this.
Absolutely lovely.
Thank you M&M, but you forgot exciting, maddening, satisfying, and driving me absolutely nuts.
Sorry, forgot the seasonings, without them, the dish won't taste.
Thanks FRED ~ for caring & sharing ~ a lovely tribute to your WIFE in particular and MARRIAGE in general ! Yes is does redress some of the sad srories of separation and break up and abuse which have proliferated on MPS recently. Your elegant Poem (love rhyming couplets) covers every aspect of True Love and its culmination in a Happy & Fruitful Marriage. Children are Blessing from God so THREE is a Triple Blessing and you have MULTIPLIED 2 becomes 3 ~ AMEN Loved every word ! Yours BRIAN
Please check the FUSION on Games & Pastimes by SANTITA & Myself and add a Poem.
Click in DEVELOPING and it will come up ~ OK ~ Thanks B.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Brian. And the three children added four grand-children, with one more on the way! We truly are blessed!
WOW FRED ~ I checked you age 69 ~ so i thought you must be a GRANDDADDY by now ~ what a privilege to be able to influence and interact with a third generation ! You can now understand the Population Explosion we add a new Generation every 30 years ~ so 2 becomes 3 becomes 5 etc a Quintuplet Blessing ~ Yours BRIAN
Yeah, I am 69, at least on paper. According to my wife I am going on nine!
I wrote something little and fast for that fusion "Games & Pastimes", first time I participated on a fusion poem, hope I did it right.
Well FRED ~ MEN never grow up ~ so I guess i will be ready for marriage when I'm 40. Thanks for your POEM on THE FUSION ! Excellent Cycling is a great recreational pastime. Exercise and no petrol required so nil pollution. I cycle to work when i can (20 minutes) and no difficulty parking ! I have added two ~ High Board Diving and CHESS ~ one a sport the other a recreation ~ but now both PROFESSIONAL as of course is CYCLING ! Whatever happened to AMATEURS when people did things for the love of it ? Yours BRIAN
