Here is a poem I wrote for my wife while we were dating. I still love her.
Eternal Bliss
Within the days of my eternal bliss
Thy countenance does oft inspire the mind
Thinking of all the days I want not miss
When then my everlasting true love find
Caressing thought of our next day to see
Often do we compatible appear
As one and one must always sum to be
But one now are me and my precious dear
A rose cannot be ever quite as sweet
Your lips do drip as with the richest wine
Ecstatic is my heart each time we meet
You take my breath but I accept the fine
If never more for you show love I may
Joy is to know I did not waste a day
Trying to get people on mission who haven’t been transformed by the gospel is a fool’s errand.

What a way with words you have. I bet your wife loved this when you gave it to her. Again, book?!

wow- didn’t know you had this kind of inspiration for words! Something we have in common. I hope all is well and she sure is lucky to have someone that likes to be so lavish in their affections- in words, in life and love.

Thanks – let me know what you think about my other poems too! I must admit that I have to repent every day for not pursuing her the way I did when we were dating. Called her tonight to tell her that (she’s out of town).
