Just a Note

Just a note to the one I love
He holds my heart in his kid gloved hand
Many years we've shared me and my Eagle
For now his head feathers are white and reagle

I loved him for he chose me
From all the rest our love came to be
Now his once raven hair is white with age
But honor he will carry to his grave

He will be buried with his "Bible" his sword and shield
No dishonor will he from life wield
How he loved the rural life
Cows, hogs, farming land  no strife

We've had our ups and downs
Somehow we loved enough not to clown
When it came to our relationship 
This was more important even in a hardship

We worked on loving each other
Tried to understand and share even if bother
We learned, grew, and our hearts entwined
Hearts grown together died if apart contract signed

Thanks my love for these years
Your only wife and friend

Yep! After the honeymoon, a relationship takes work. Congrats on your efforts. My wife and I are working on 60 years together this October. It has been work at times. Love, Dave
