My Brown Eyed Bride

Over two decades ago she became my brown eyed bride,
Filled with love, laughter, and a giving heart beside,
She has brought joy to many even when broken inside,
She has given sacrificially though her dreams denied,
She serves God faithfully in His presence she abides,
She makes a house a home where ever we do reside,
I told her I had to follow God and move - she replied,
I am with you and follow too serving God side by side,
We have been wounded and wanted to run and to hide,
Yet she stuck with - my beautiful brown eyed bride.
