Her Glance, Her Hand

No soaring airplane built today
Can carry me as far away
As does my wife’s inviting glance
When time arrives for more romance,

And when I walk and hold her hand
No orchestra or marching band
Can replicate the cheerful song
That burbles up and tags along—

How blessed I am with boundless love,
Eternal gift from God above;
This woman many years my wife
Is friend and lover through my life.

Thanks, Maureen, means a lot. Been married long enough I can be a bit corny; thanks again. Dave
