Uh... Does he have another wife that I don't know about?

When I got up this morning the following poem, based on Proverbs chapter 31, was sitting on the computer desk:

A virtuous woman, is there one to be found,
Whose compassion and faithfulness always abound?

More precious than diamonds or the purest of pearls
Her husband’s heart is captured, it is her he adores.

She is completely selfless of heart and puts others first
She looks to her Savior, for His righteousness she thirsts.

When she sees those in need, her heart truly breaks
She will rise up to help, whatever it takes.

Her children and husband have no cares for tomorrow
For her continuous care shields her family from sorrow.

She teaches her children reading, writing, and more
They learn character and integrity from the Word of God she adores.

Her children call her “Mom”, but they mean so much more
From their hearts comes the cry, “She is blessed of the Lord”.

Her husband loves her more than he did at the start
He is living a dream since she captured his heart.

Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain
But the light from her heart dispels all the rain.

The fear of the Lord comes first in her life
That fear is what makes her an excellent wife.

Her children rise up to tell her she’s blessed
Her husband calls out she exceeds all the rest.

How can a woman so special be found
Whose compassion and faithfulness always abound?

You can travel the earth and look far and wide
But your search will bring you straight to my bride.


Love,
Your adoring husband

I asked Mark who he wrote it about. Turns out I am a lucky, lucky girl.
