My girlfriend is now my wife
It happened 30 years ago and changed my life
I have heard people complain as they age of what they may have missed
Well, if they complain, then that is for them, because for 30 years I have had your kiss
I know not of things I could have had in a life that is past
I do know that I am blessed with your love, a love that lasts
If I look back in time and say, "I missed something and I desire"
I think of your love and to say I would trade a thing would make me a liar
I could look back in time and say, "I could have had"
I had you, to want anything else would be just mad
I know as a young husband I gave up what some may feel were the best years of their lives
Well, I gave up nothing. I feel sorrow for them; I had more because you are my wife
Yes, I know how to look back in time, I know my life
I would not change a thing because you are my wife
Regret, why should I do such a thing
For I am proud to wear my wedding ring
They had fast cars and fast times
I had you, a wife so very fine
What did they have that I did not
Well, whatever it was, I am sure it was not a lot
You are my past, my present, and my future
We have lived our past, you are my present, and I pray to be blessed with you in my future
I had more joy, more laughter, more love, and more pleasure
Because what I have with you is more than can be measured
My Girlfriend Is Now My Wife
Being a young wife myself and reading this I started to cry, the love you have for her is beautiful. I love your poems they are very touching.
I Know My Life
