A Tribute To The Man I Love

Oct. 1,1990

The time went by so quickly,

Where have the years all gone

It seemed like only yesterday

My father brought you home, John

I knew when I first saw him

That our hearts would soon entwine

He was a kind and gentle man

And I wished that he were mine

After three years of courting

He said "Please marry me"

I didn't pause a moment

Our love was meant to be

We had our trials and heartaches

But both of us still knew

That what we shared together

Would always get us through

Our seven wonderful children

God gave to you and me

We raised them all with tender love

I'm as proud as can be

The beautiful twelve grandchildren

All come and comfort me

And as I look at them I see

With me you'll always be

The nights are long and lonely

As I cry myself to sleep

But I hold onto that moment

When I know again we'll meet

This cross is very heavey "John"

But one that I must bear

Until the day I come home and

I see you standing there

Thank you for the memories

For 49 happy years

I'll hold them tight within my heart

And think of you my dear

I'll love you "John" forever

You have made my life complete

and even though you're gone away

Our hearts as one still beat

 -Your Loving Wife-
