Being In Love and Building a Love
Roughnecking in Texas was a bachelor's life
Social by nature, not looking for a wife
A chance encounter, at a stop sign was she
Eyes kissed, hearts danced, we knew instantly
Like harbinger daffodils foretelling of spring
Together, sharing dreams, our future was seen
We struggled at first, adjusting to change
Birth of a love, brings harsh growing pains
Both were determined, to persevere and succeed
Using lessons we'd learned, from fails previously
Respect, understanding, compromise and passion
That first year together was anything but magic
Giving of love, taking same of
Standing firm when the ground was shaking
Over hills of remiss through valleys of bliss
A warm comforter in times of heartbreaking
With the hardness of a love, to build a foundation forever
And the tenderness of love, to fulfill dreamed endeavors
That first year of trials we built a family foundation
Which served years to come for our next generation
