In Praise of a Good Wife

A truly good wife,
A precious treasure;
To have in your life,
No one can measure.

He depends on her,
Never lets him down;
Problems may occur,
But never a frown.

She is good to him,
Each day of her life;
When times very grim,
She quiets the strife.

The man gives respect,
For what she has done;
That they can reflect,
Together as one.

The charm can deceive,
Beauty fades away;
But faith will achieve,
Glamour that will stay.
