A perfect wife, who can find her.
She is beyond the price of pearls.
I am her eternal debtor.
From that first meeting long ago my head swirls.

I know now love is blind.
Forty years later to me she is the most beautiful girl in the room.
With her my heart is entwined.
I love her love beyond any young beauty’s bloom.

That extraordinary beauty struck me first.
Now this deep set goodness keeps us close.
With parting I never lose this thirst.
But it’s her character I love the most.

Truly she cares for the needy and the poor.
This then is my amour.
