Our Life
On a blustery sunny Thursday
In December of fifty-four
We stood before a preacher
To pledge our love forever more
We didn't have a tux or gown
A suit and dress were worn
A nervous bride and groom they were
On that cold December morn
She lovely as an angel stood
He, facing her with love
In hopes the union of these two
Were blessed by God above
They then recited all their vows
Till death should do us part
And with a kiss they sealed their love
With a fullness in their hearts
She is my bright and shining star
Sent to me from above
And till the very end of days
Will be my own true love
This love we've shared for many years
Through good times and thru strife
And both remained so much in love
As husband and as wife
You'll see them with each other
Just walking side by side
The love light shining in their eyes
Reflects the husband and his bride
Should God decide just one should go
Before the other's time
My fervent prayer would be to Him
The life you take be mine
Wrapped up in memories so sweet
It could be called divine
What makes the memories so neat?
They'll pass the test of time
I wouldn't want to stay this earth
Without my lovely wife
There'd be no joy, no happiness
An empty shell of life
Should I be first, and she remain
I'll wait upon a cloud
And whisper to the changing winds
In voice so strong and loud
Here comes my wife I've waited for
Her red hair streaked with grey
And hand in hand we'd walk once more
Forever and a day!
