My True Love.

My True Love.My love, my life, my only one,  
Many's the dream that we have spun.  
With your love so tender, true,  
You took my life and made it new.  
From you I learned how to give,  
Hand in hand, how to live.  
A touch, a smile, a gesture small,  
Your love surrounds me like a wall.  
Unending patience did you bring,  
Making this selfish heart to sing.  
You moulded this being into one,  
From darkest depth to brightest sun.  
As through the years together we go,  
Growing older, getting slow.  
My love, my life, my only one,  
There's just one thing I have not done.  
This I must do straight away,  
Before the end of another day.  
With love, with thanks ever new,  
WIFE, I dedicate myself to you.
