What a blessing she is to my life! She stands behind me, Even while walking beside me. She is without a doubt my help mate, What a sanctuary at home she does create. A mate for life, my loving wife.. No question she is the love of my life. My wife, the mother of my children, Raised them to know the Lord.. I arise and Praise her, We’re bound together with love’s strong cord. Thank you Lord for my wife, She is indeed the love of my life.
