Shirley and Yudi, your magical love affair still inspires my wife and me after all these years.

She admired him, worshiped him, every hour, every day Never found fault with him, at home, work or play Felt herself ever-so-lucky to be his lawful wife Even during moments of matrimonial strife On Sabbath she prepared his favorite delicacies and treats The house sparkled and shined---'twas Cinderella-sweet You saw them walking together, arms locked, hand-in-hand Their harmonious coupling inspiring today's wedding bands Near the end her Yudi stumbled; he landed squarely on his head She thanked the Good Lord that he was injured badly, not dead She cared for him, nursed him, fed him and dressed him Round the clock dedication, her feelings caressed him When the end came, she sighed a deep sigh, wept uncontrollably For the man in her life, whom she'd given all of herself devotedly
