My Wendy

June 1, 2004

My Wendy, we began this journey together

Knowing we would be united forever.

Seven years now we have treasured one another,

And I have seen your love as friend, wife and mother.

You have such joy, beauty and charm,

I am so very honored to walk with you arm in arm.

Although I think you are crazy, with diapers, sippy-cups and lids,

I will do my best to give you some more kids.

It is fun to walk through life with you,

And watch you play with our babies, saying “ga-ga, goo-goo.”

Well, this poem is almost out of time,

Ha! You didn’t think I could write one that rymed!

Honestly, you are my favorite person in this life,

I love everyday we spend as man and wife.

Don’t forget to enjoy every moment of these years,

Because we will look back on them one day with tears,

Wishing we could go back in time and our kids hold,

As we hug each other, wrinkled and old.

I did not say that to make you sad,

But rather to say that we should be glad,

God has blessed us in the way that he must,

His will is perfect, and in Him we should trust.

To whom much is given, much is required,

Even if it is hard, and we become tired.

All our efforts we be worthwile,

When he tells us someday, “Well done, my child.”

Now with this last phrase I wish to say,

I love you and have a Happy Birthday.
