Shadow Wife
She lives in the shadow of her husbands greatness
She tends to all her families cares and needs.
Her home is full of beauty and joy
Her garden is free of weeds.
She lacks for nothing but his presence
He is always so busy you see.
She understands his greatness
and knows he must be free.
Others don't even notice her
They never really see her face.
But when he looks upon her
He see's her beauty and grace.
They know nothing about her
So they call her his shadow wife.
He knows everything about her.
and calls her the love of his life.
She tends to all her families cares and needs.
Her home is full of beauty and joy
Her garden is free of weeds.
She lacks for nothing but his presence
He is always so busy you see.
She understands his greatness
and knows he must be free.
Others don't even notice her
They never really see her face.
But when he looks upon her
He see's her beauty and grace.
They know nothing about her
So they call her his shadow wife.
He knows everything about her.
and calls her the love of his life.
