The poem is a tribute to your wife who enhanced your life and others' by being a loving wife and serving in the US military. I love the strong feelings that flow through this poem. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
