My Heart Is Overflowing

My Heart is Overflowing
By Franklin Price
for Bella and Dalton
12/2/2017

My heart is overflowing
With the couple that I see
With the life you have together
And the one that there's to be

With a friendship that is obvious
I  expect the very best
Love brought you to where your are
Let your friendship do the rest

Here's my advice for nothing
You may listen or may not
I'm speaking from experience
Which is mostly what I've got

Never go to sleep at night
With anger in your head
Give and take's the object
Before it's time for bed

Always say “I love you”
Mean all the words you say
At least a hug and kiss each night
To start the coming day

Remember this is your best friend
When speaking make that clear
Always wisely choose your words
One's that you may want to hear

Value life together
Try to wear the other's shoes
We old folks understand that
For you youngsters could be news

It's not financial riches
That makes the richest life
It's true love and understanding
Between a husband and a wife

I'm now down from the pulpit
My preaching now is done
The best advice I have for you 
“Keep your life together fun”
