Analysis of To my wife



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.
