My Excellent Wife

Today is our 9 year anniversary. I wrote this thinking about the Proverbs 31 woman and thanking God for blessing me with an incredible wife.

An excellent wife I have found.
More precious than the fairest jewel,
To seek love elsewhere I would be a fool.
To her my heart is joyfully bound.

Above all else she seeks my good.
She works to bring my soul such rest,
Her joy to serve without behest.
Comforts me with her loves food.

Her beauty lights a darkened room.
A heart of gold refined in fire,
To honor Christ her highest desire.
Adorned to please her heavenly groom.

She cares for those who have a need.
Hospitality is her trade,
Tending to those whom God has made.
That they too may gain hearts freed.

Her laugh brings joy at endless length
Whatever praise that I receive,
Due to the one to whom I cleave.
Clothed with dignity and strength.
