The Love of My Life
My true love, love of my life
January of 1988, I became your wife
In a ceremony of family and friends
Gathered in a little house, I grew up in
We were young, in love and so carefree
With each other, we longed to be
Our journey together began that night
A young man a husband, a young woman a wife
Dreams of a future, together we share
To fulfill each, no matter the dare
How we have been blessed from that very day
Through the hand of God, in so many ways
We have shared many valleys, hand in hand
Mountains we've climbed, together we stand
You are my strength when I am weak
When I am down, you know what to speak
You are where my life began
You are my partner, lover and friend
Those quiet moments, time to stand still
Each beat of your heart, I can feel
You wipe my tears, chasing my fears away
To be held in your arms, forever to stay
You bring much joy to my heart
Sealed and protected, never to part
You sense what upsets my very being
You have given my life so much meaning
Your kiss still takes my very breath
I shiver at the touch of your caress
The emptiness I feel when you are away
To be home by my side, each day I pray
Together we have became as one
Vowing from the day, our journey begun
Sharing many sunrises and many sunsets
Sharing a life without any regret
No other, in your place, could I ever see
You are so much a part of me
You are there when my eyes close
You are where my every thought goes
You turn my darkest day, ever so bright
You are my true love, from the very first sight
Two beautiful children, to me you have given
While making my life so worth liven
I cannot imagine one day without you
Never by my side, I wouldn't want to
Together in time, may we grow old
The best love story, ever to be told
Looking back on how blessed we have been
Holding each other until the end
I thank God each day for our love
Beyond the Galaxy and stars above
For the very day I became your wife
You are truly without doubt, the love of my life
Dedicated to my husband, Benton. The love of my life.
