Caveman and the Rose

My wife is a quiet soul.  She really is an amazing woman, she is able to step outside the box so to speak ,and see things from all angles.  She is slow to speak, and eager to listen.  The ol’ Caveman here, struggles daily with temperance, trust, and forgiveness.    I lack the grace and inner strength that make up her being.
