She is a ubiquitous presence In the fabric of my life And always seems to have the pulse Of my oft times crazy life. She knows just when to let me run And when to apply the brakes She celebrates my achievements And is tolerant of mistakes At night when plagued with nightmares In search of a restful sleep She can chase away my goblins Even while she sleeps. She has opened up a world for me By turning living into life She is my most valued treasure My loving, beautiful wife.
