If you left me on this day after all we've had.   
                                  The pain and sorrow I'd feel and my heart would
                                                              be so sad.
                                    You taught me how to be a woman and a wife.
                                    You taught me humility and to have a good life.
                                     You gave me love,strength and how to be fair.
                                      So darlin before you go remember one thing
                                                 wait for me I'll soon be there.
                                                           Teresa Skyles
