The Better Half of Me

Not a single day escapes from me That in thought you are not near. Your lovely smile always brings To each new day a ray of cheer. Oft times, in thought, I question What life without you would be. Should I awake and find you gone And there remained no one but me. In you is the heart of a servant Your love I could not resist. Until the end you'll always be My rose that the dew has kissed. Written for my wife on our 44th wedding anniversary which we spent in the home of Ricky & Shirlene
