To my wife

With the blood from a red rose
Our love arose
Sweet tears of life
And the sweetness of my wife

The fears we live with
Are nothing more than a myth
Fears that are home spun
Melt away with the morning sun

The times we had
Were not all that bad
Love given without question
With no concession

To you I crawl
Let it all fall
All we need is time
Before the final chime

I look into your eyes
And know who is wise
See your fresh smile
And know I need to stay awhile

For your time
My partner in crime
Life’s long procession
My wife, my obsession
