The Woman in My Life

By Legend Gilchrist

She is a rose in a field of daisies. She is a joy in the midst of sadness. My woman is a light in darkness. A bright light in times of despair. She is good for my soul and water for my patched lips. My woman is all of this and more. You are the woman in my life.

She is a sacred. She is goodness in a world of bad. A woman of excellence. A woman of stark purity and happiness from above.

Of all the women in the history of women, she stands out ahead of the rest. She is unique in every way, head and shoulders apart from all. My woman is all that, she truly is. A woman like you is like no other. You are one of a kind and you always have been. Forever and ever.

If I could create a woman, I would create a woman like her in every way. Every way. I wouldn't change a thing about her. I am in awe of the fact that I should be blessed to be with such a wonderful woman who is also my best friend.

To say that you are my friend is not enough for you are more than a friend to me. You are the love of my life, the very one that I live for. To think that I might live without you is more than I can bear. The truth is, I can’t live without you and never will.

If I ever should fail, I know you won't give up on me. I know you will be there for my every success no matter how small. I know you will always be there for me always and forever. And ever. And this will ever be. You are the woman in my life. Forever.

Our story has only just begun, our story will go on for all times. All times. Our story will be told wherever and whenever people delight in truth. Our story will be there for everyone always.

Show me how to love you my beautiful wife. Show me your heart, I want to know your heart with love so mighty it breathes, show me your heart, I want to love you like no other. All I want is to be with you.

I want you my love, all of you. I want to know you and forever care for you. There is a place where I want to be, it is right by your side and experience your last be for all times, where your love runs free and my love rushes over you: All of you. Let us pray that this is always so.

Take my hand and love me like only you can do and I will do the same. Let our love be like a fine wine enjoyed at a wedding feast for all the distinguished guests to sip. Let our love be as a gift from above.

Take my heart for it is yours. Take me as I am and let us be together for all days and all nights because this is where I want to be, right next to your side forever. Then I will be truly happy like never before oh wonderful woman in my life.

I would count the ways I love you, my wife, my love, but I am unable to do so. Let it suffice to say, I love you, plain and simple. Yet your love for me is far more than simple, it is complex and wonderful, fascinating and humble, gorgeous and beautiful, as are you. You are the woman in my life and I will have no other woman than you.

My wife is a friend, she truly is. A true blue friend given to me like no other. A friend like no other friend for she is my best friend. A friend who will always be there for me and always care for me. Always and always.

And so I find myself with you in my arms lonely no more. Happy and content with the gift that you have given me in you and you alone. And I am your gift also, I know. This much is true. You are the woman in my life. Forever and ever.

I do not deserve such a great woman and yet there she is before me always and forever. I hope to be all that she desires in a man. I shall always strive to be such a man. You are the woman in my life. Always and forever and ever.
