"A note for my Wife"
“An Eight Year Anniversary”
Amazing, enlightening and calm, I believe that we can be called and given this poem by any who has spent diligent time with you and me,
Today’s your anniversary,
and we admire the good role model
your marriage provides for the rest of us:
Happiness, caring, unselfish accommodation
out of affection for one another.
You two illuminate any room
with the light of love you share.
Happy Anniversary, and many more!
Reading this I paused to think if we really hit a milestone, eight years, well its not a decade.. do I get you Bronze.... or Pottery...., do they still sell Bronze?
You know our lives together are larger than Bronze, its traditional yet empowering. As I reflect on us, my life has been forever changed by your Godly uncompromised love, you truly saw me for something I may have yet to become, but cherish me as if I have become that man.
I want to share something with you, two years from today is our Ten Year Anniversary, the day will show and shine how much we love each other even more, and not just to beat the statistics, we already did that; the average age for couples going through divorce is 30 years, the average length of marriage that ends in divorce is eight years... Crushed!, the date in 2015 is so important because I know over that last few years we have taken the time and started the process to know each other deeply, not just be busy, not just meet each others need, but the ability to look deep in each other and bring out the inspirational creative parts of ourselves. We will fulfill the desires of our hearts, whether that be painting, dancing, writing, preaching, business, working out, even something so trivial as hugging more and relaxing more.
My life is your life, and your life is mine, eight years really put out there that in a marriage we can each drift and have our own thing; my business, my car, my prayer life, my hobbies,.. but as I thought about you and me, this marriage is shown bright by what we create together. Have you seen our child, amazing, energetic, smart, engaging, a leader. I see her and think, where did I lose that zeal, that power, that determination. That little girl is a little me and sparks images of my Mother, 30 years of life’s carries can wear on a man, family death, pain, worry, unfulfilled promises, weight, lost dreams, but you don’t let me go, you hold on tight. Our marriage is us; our prayer life, our hobbies, our business, our heart.. Together we will do amazing things, but with “mys” we will work hard in haste.
I want you to know and believe that we are a family, and we are friends, we can be together and comfort and care. I want you to feel like a Princess and then I want you to believe you are my Princess. My heart may not be big enough to make that true everyday for you, though sometime soon I see me heart being that big and that being a real belief for you.
I love you very much, and appreciate you and thank you for being there for me; life’s a true gift, thanks for letting me in on realizing this again. I do see, this year, what you saw in me 8 years ago and I see it for me.
