Love Poem: Elizabeth, My Wife

Elizabeth, My Wife

At first I thought I was mistaken 
Do her eyes keep diverting to me 
Unsure and a little bit shaken 
Taken back by a Russian beauty 

I’d watch her walk past my apartment 
An exciting, self confident stride 
Auburn hair and a smile heaven sent 
I knew with her I had to confide 

I sat on the porch in the courtyard 
Relaxing, taking in the night air 
Sneaking up and catching me off guard 
My Russian beauty dream girl so fair 

Her sitting with me altered my life 
I never wanted that night to end 
How I met Elizabeth, my wife 
My love, my confidant, my best friend  

Now, near thirty seven years after 
God knew it was time for you to rest 
Through all of our tears and our laughter 
Life with you Sweetie has been the best 

Love you always, Sweetie
