Analysis of To my wife
Thomas A Neddo 1986 (Vermont)
In the realm of love, my heart takes flight,
Guided by the beauty that shines so bright.
For you, my dear wife, my love is pure,
A flame that forever shall endure.
In your eyes, I see a universe unfold,
A tapestry of love that never grows old.
Your smile, like sunshine on a rainy day,
Melts my worries and lights up the way.
Your touch, so gentle, sends shivers down my spine,
A tender caress that makes my soul align.
In your embrace, I find solace and peace,
A sanctuary where all worries cease.
With each passing day, my love for you grows,
Like a river that endlessly flows.
You're the melody in every song I hear,
The whisper in the wind, so sweet and clear.
Together we've weathered life's storms and tides,
Hand in hand, we've crossed all divides.
Through laughter and tears, we've built a life,
A love that's strong, through joy and strife.
So here's to you, my love, my eternal flame,
The one who holds my heart, my dearest dame.
In this poem, I profess my love so true,
Forever and always, I'll be devoted to you.
