“To my wife, smile, laugh, and love”

To My Wife—Smile, Laugh, and Love

To my beloved, whose smile, pure as dawn,  
Lights quiet mornings ‘til all shadows are gone;  
The gentle curve, a secret just for me,  
A harbor in the storm, where hearts run free.

Your laughter—bells across a summer field,  
Joy in its truest form, unmasked, unsealed.  
It ripples through the air like songbird’s flight,  
And turns the ordinary golden-bright.

Your love, the vow that lingers near and far,  
In brushing hands and every faded scar;  
A thousand days within one steady gaze,  
A lifetime gathered into warm embrace.

So keep on smiling, let your laughter ring—  
You are my hope in every changing thing.  
In all our seasons, old and yet to come,  
My sweetest joy: to love, and be your home.
