My Beloved Kay

There you were Kay, across the dance floor Caught your smile and it overpowered me Danced with you and knew for sure You are the one to share my life. So much interest in learning everything Caring approach to those less fortunate High moral attitude to things important Unwavering trust in a higher power. Raised a family of fortunate girls and boys Dedicated to all in a selfless manner Never counting the continuing sacrifices made Thanking God for blessings showered In later life returned to dedicated work Rejoicing in the medical service rendered Counted not the enormous cost to self All that matters is helping others. After thirty years I look across the room There is the smile again that caught my eye And I recall a happy life well spent With my beloved wife. Now when I contemplate the declining years I know that long long ago in a lighted room I glanced across and caught a smile That changed the direction of my life
