I thank Allah
For so many things
For the countless blessings
But above all
For the gift of you
How can I not?
You - gentle and considerate
With nary a harsh word
You - strong and supportive
Reassuring and attentive
With laughter to temper each passing day
It's your way to keep problems at bay
You make light of the burden you carry
So I would not have reason to worry
You rejoice in simple things
Like prawn fritters and the afternoon rain
You delight in the bloom of a new flower
As you would the sound of a child's laughter
You prize sincerity and honesty
Hard work and integrity
Not for you the pretensions and pomposity
And certainly not breaches of courtesy
Your humility humbles me
Your openness endearing
Your warmth beguiles me
Your selflessness amazing
Magnanimity is you
Kindness and forbearance too
You are your own person
And you make it right
For me to be me
For 33 years
I feel the love
That give me cause to celebrate
The every day that I am your wife.
Alhamdulillah
