My Love, My Best Friend, My Wife
I write this prose for my dear, fair lady wife
To celebrate her Birthday on November 29th
She’s my partner, my best friend, the love of my life
Without her my life would be as dark as night
From nineteen seventy-one to two thousand eleven
A short forty years from her blessed birth
All the Angels will come down from Heaven
To celebrate my Angel here on earth
An Angel came down from Heaven above
A wonderful, beautiful, sweet girl
It wasn’t long before I fell in love
And she would change my entire world
I met her on the 12th day of December
Nineteen hundred and ninety-five
A cold, late fall day as I remember
But the warm Christmas Spirit was alive
As I was trimming the Christmas tree
I caught sight of a beautiful girl
I gazed at her and she looked back at me
She would turn up-side-down my whole world
This was the girl of my April dream
My dream had come true, I had found her
This was the woman that fate had deemed
To be my partner, my Jennifer
When her beautiful brown eyes met mine
I knew she was the girl I had dreamt of
Our souls became instantly intertwined
I knew with her I had fallen in love
With her I believed in love at first sight
Or should I say love at first dream
When I fell asleep that cool April night
I thought my life no more than it could seem
As I sunk way down into Sandman Sound
There was a gorgeous girl waiting for me
A wondrous woman I had not yet found
And in my dream, I would only get to see
My life was changed in early December
When I received the greatest Christmas present
The girl of my dreams that I remembered
Was real and I was in her presence
As I stood there dumb-struck by her beauty
She said the Jennifer was her first name
She looked like a pixie, quite a cutie
This was the girl of my dreams, the very same
She had short brown hair and entrancing brown eyes
And she reminded me of a magical pixie
When she looked at me her eyes could mesmerize
And I thought that maybe she could fix me
For I was a lost soul in search of love
I was sad in my soul, body and mind
She could only have been sent from above
An Angel from Heaven arrived just in time
My soul was lit up with a warm desire
When I met her that cold day in December
I knew that she could rekindle the fire
Of my heart’s smoldering embers
Jennifer is beautiful right down to her soul
Her beauty is beyond compare
In my heart she fills a hole
In my mind she is always there
Jennifer is intelligent and sweet
She is lovely, gorgeous and fair
She is friendly to everyone she meets
And as for fashion, she has a flare
Jennifer stole my heart
And it’s hers to keep for life
I feel lost whenever we’re apart
But comforted in the thought that she’s my wife
Jennifer has a very caring heart
She’s and excellent nurse with healing hands
There are Angels on earth of which she is a part
That are sent here to take care of us humans
Jennifer is strong, courageous and amazing
She’s helped me through the darkest of times
And even though I’m still quite crazy
She stays with me and I’m proud to say she’s all mine
My wife is a real life Wonder Woman
She flies around in her invisible jet
Her powers are really super-human
She caught me with her magic lasso when we met
Jen believes in fairies like Tinker Bell
She believes in the magic of life
She believes in faith, hope and love as well
Several reasons why I made her my wife
Jennifer is my wife’s full name
But I like to call her “My Jenny”
Though she may never have claim to fame
Our love is strong and rare like an old shiny steel penny
Our little house has become a Noah’s Ark
With Mr. Salem the old man with the grumpy face
Miss Arwen the little princess with the big bark
And crazy Mr. Jackson who runs all over the place
We have Mr. Carter the big brother, gentle and clumsy
Tiny Miss Marina the big attitude cutie
Out front we have Miss Ashes, cross-eyed, but lovey
Out back we have Mamma Cinder and here four kitties
My wife’s birthday is a magical time
With joy it began her journey of years
Twenty-six years later her path would cross mine
And the road to our future would start to appear
She’s definitely an Angel sent to this world
To be my soul mate in this life and the world after
She’s an inspiration to me as the years unfurl
I love her smile, her beauty, her intelligence, her laughter
I’m very proud to be her husband
And I’m very happy that she is my wife
I was so honored when she gave me her hand
And I faithfully pledged to love her the rest of my life
As God’s Hand guides The Hand of Fate
We were meant to grow old together
In her I found my one true soul mate
We shall dance in love’s light forever
I was truly blessed when Jennifer became my wife
And what better way for this poem to end
Than to say she is not only the love of my life
She is also my very, very best friend
