A SONNET TO MY WIFE Do you ever wonder why I do The little things I do for you It's because I love you, with a love that's true A love no other can give to you It's to keep a smile upon your face And assure you no one can take your place I love the way you wear your hair The way you hold me whenever I'm there I love the way you kiss my lips The tender touch of your fingertips So just remember, as you face each day My love for you will always stay Pure, unceasing – love without end You're more than a lover – you're my best friend 4 December 2019 For the contest, Love Me Like You Mean It, sponsored by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver
