A wife is a mate who will stand by your side

In sickness and in health, till death do you part, and with pride

 

She will make your house a home with tender loving care

Not because she has to, but because it’s only fair

 

She as well has a job and cannot quit until it’s done

Cooking and cleaning faithfully, even though it’s not much fun

 

Though the housework may be hard, and the hours extremely long

A praise from you occasionally, will help her to be strong

 

In the eyes of God, she is your helpmate

Not a punching bag, slave, or someone you can forsake

 

Sometimes she may appear unattractive and weary

But in times like these, show her more love instead of fury

 

A wife is always there for better or for worse

When you become ill, she then becomes your nurse

 

The mother of your children, and a friend to your friends

She looks to you, knowing that you are someone in whom she can depend

 

Girlfriends may come and go, and acquaintances may too

But a wife stands by your side, and will always see you through

 

As the mother of your children, your lover and your friend

She will never abandon you; she is there with you to the very end!
