you made me into the man I am today
yes, you have been hard on me
and it was for me alone
to draw out my own strength
for if I had remained a recluse
and didn’t learn I was not my own island
I would have always stayed drunk
and never grown up…
I have been around the block a few times
and many wives fell by the wayside
because of that, I’ve paid a high price
financially and emotionally…
I have learned valuable lessons
I wouldn’t want to repeat.
if I would not have lived my life
and made many mistakes
because I knew better
I would not be the man I am today…
I would not have matured
but remained a child
disguised in a man’s body
but, I have found true beauty
In the love which
resides within me
only for you
my dearest
most
cherished
wife
and
trusted
friend.
