I love my wife
and yet another attempt at poetry...or maybe just some rambling from my heart
My heart is full
I love my wife
My heart is full
Married almost 28 years
Cannot explain my feelings
Have so much confidence and fears.
My wife is weary
Her work can be very heavy, everyday worries of family and life
She has many pains in her body
I want to fix everything. I want her to be happy
Doctors say there may be a problem
Could be issues of life and death
My mind explodes with thoughts
It races of words to say, it becomes hard to breathe
She looks for me to be strong
I know the doctor has got to be wrong.
My life is crumbling as we speak
God, please give me strength
My heart is weak
I call some, close to me
Help me; I am not as strong as I want to be.
I get on my knees and beg to God
I open my heart
Please give me strength
I begin to breathe
Doctor of specialty comes in to speak
They say it is not as a bad as others may think
God rests His hands upon our shoulders
The Doctor says, we think what appears to be bad
Is not so and we have our ways
To make things better, she will be fine
Tears overcome me
My wife gives me a smile
My heart is full, once again
God is so good!
And I love my wife.

Great stuff Chris!
Was this about a real event?
I think that was quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with all of us!
It is also nice to see that despite what we may be told that there are true and enduring loves.
It is something I feel I have and so nice to see it in others as well.

Maggie, I have never even tried to write such a "poem" if you will before. I merely have taken the advice from some from some fellow hubbers, and put down my thoughts, from my heart. I so much appreciate your prayers and very kind words.
My wife will have some extensive tests done tomorrow, that will, hopefully shine some good news upon us, and allow Doctors to bring some comfort and healing to my wife.
Your prayers mean very much too me.
:)
CMerritt, please keep me posted, and the best of wishes and hopes to receive good news!!

I am flattered and I thank you ever so much for your kind words.

I love poems about love and yours is beautiful...as is the love for your wife. Those feelings of hopelessness sweep over us and it is inconceivable that we can do nothing...at which time we simply turn it over to God and let Him do what we cannot.
I applaud your lovely marriage and wish you blessings and many more years to come with that lovely wife of yours.

Goosebumps while reading all through out...your wife and your family are very lucky to have you. You seem to be very loving husband (and family man). Your words in here say so, all so well.
May love continue to spark in your heart and wish you and your wife happiness always.
Up, beautiful and another piece to share with.
