A Minister's Wife Poem by Joye Atkinson

The effectiveness of a minister as to how he handles life
Depends a great deal upon his wonderful supporting wife
You're always there beside him when trouble comes his way
You bring him so much comfort by the things you do and say
You're not just there in sadness you're there in joy and pride
No matter what God sends his way you're always by his side
You have a very special gift for showing so much care
Though you may not show it you've got a load to bear
It takes a special person to do the things you do
God doesn't just use men you know he uses their wives too
