Dear future wife please make way Make way for the words I couldn’t find to describe you.. So I’ll swallow all the stupid things I almost said, like where have you been all my life or if men were from mars I would’ve taken the first flight to Venus to find you Or maybe God made you second because I wasn’t enough Dear future wife Most men travel oceans and back seeking the world All I’m asking for is a daughter that looks just like you Or a son who understands that nations are built on the backs of incredible women And that his mother’s open palms were his first glimpse of tomorrow That the first time he met his mother’s gaze was also the closest he’s ever been to God, And that the first smile he ever saw was the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen... So dear future wife When we’re old. my hands will shake when I hold yours.. Maybe from arthritis Or maybe I’m still just as nervous as before So I’ll shake my way through love letters written and placed around thehouse like maps to find hidden treasures But all you’ll ever find are my insecurities Like how I can’t seem to find enough courage to let you love me back Like how you’re a better woman than I’ll ever deserve And that the hardest thing is being man enough To tell you this So in the meantime I’ll do the dishes Take out the trash Tell you that you don’t look fat in that dress And gossip about the neighbours Pretending to peer through the window But I’m really staring at your reflection in it Same reflection in me Same woman who has me wishing I was a penguin A comedian A father of two Or just a man
