A Poem for My Wife

We shared a life together.
We built it over years.
We learned how to live as one. 
And how to move forward.

Those years shaped our lives,
Through work, care, and time.
Long days filled our lives,
You were part of it all.

Years brought understanding.
They showed us what mattered.
We stood together through time,
And built a life with meaning.

I still feel you with me,
In how I live each day.
In the standards you set,
And the love you gave.

I miss you every day,
In moments meant to share.
You were my wife, my home.
You always will be.
