Thank You My Love

My life was dull with hints of gray,
                 No longer am I sad and blue. 
                 I’m grateful we met that sweet day, 
                And I see this big world anew. 

                  Before you, didn’t know love was true, 
                  Our union formed in early May.  
                  Your soft kisses feel like morning dew. 
                  My life was dull with hints of gray. 

                I’m so happy love had a say, 
                  I cannot believe how time flew. 
                 Darling, you’re my home, I won’t stray. 
                 No longer am I sad and blue. 

                I don’t bite more than I can chew, 
                All my fears, doubts are kept at bay. 
                You saved me, we’re such a good crew, 
               I’m grateful we met that sweet day 

                 I’m thankful when we sit and pray. 
               You enlightened my point of view. 
                 Now I have a love for ballet. 
                And I see this big world anew. 

               Took me on a trip to the zoo, 
                And bobsledding on a giant sleigh. 
                Introduced me to Irish stew, 
                You taught me how to make a lei. 
                       Thank you, my love.
