Mother’s Day poem for my wife

May 9, 2009 at 9:23 pm

Last year I wrote this poem for my wife for Mother’s Day. I think it is a very nice poem. It truly captured how I was feeling, and also had a unique structure that I still quite enjoy. The poem is written in rhyming couplets, but each of the couplets are separated by a short line that both ends the thought of the previous couplet and begins the thought of the next. It’s kind of interesting. I hope you enjoy.

You are my wife and friend

When our eyes connect, so filled with love,
A window is opened to the heavens above,
And I feel Joy,
A feeling so absent from this aging Earth,
But that feeling is present at a child’s birth.
“It’s a boy!”,
I look forward to hearing that phrase,
and holding your hand as we’re both amazed
At our son,
And if it’s a girl, Grandmas will smile.
And whether it’s soon, or if it takes a while,
You’re the one
That I want my children to call mother,
Because I love you, and there is no other.
You are my wife and friend.
