You are my wife
You are my life
You have stood by me
Through my madness 
Through my pain
Not always able to share
Not always able to understand 
But there
With me
For me
I have given you too little joy
And too many tears
But those were born of something
At the beginning
Neither of us expected
A love
That would guide us through
Our shared destiny
I with you
And you with me
Not owning or possessing
But free to hold each other
To care for each other
To love each other
Two souls irrevocably bonded
As one
Whether in flesh or spirit
Throughout eternity
I love you
Fully and without reservation
And I will care for you
As you care for me
Forever and always
Yours
