A Beautiful Wife

A beautiful wife is more than skin deep,
she transcends the daily grind;
Her spirit is one that’s open and sweet
though the many demands on her time.

My wife has her moments in worry and doubt
but rarely doubting her Lord;
her trust is stedfast in the midst of the bout
where the enemy keeps wielding his sword.

I’m in awe of her faith, her believing the truth
dispelling the enemy fire;
my beautiful wife from the time of my youth,
a beacon of light I admire.
