To David

To David 

The day that I met you it was a surprise 
to meet at the rest stop on a late Saturday. 
I knew we were good by the look in your eyes 
hearing without you even having to say. 

You worry there is someone else in the wings 
who may someday take your place in my life. 
Deep down I hope your big heart only sings 
with the faintest idea that I might be your wife. 

Being together has been a great gift  
that God gave us both to enjoy. 
I see it but only as my sorrow does lift 
Knowing you are a sensitive boy. 

I look to the future with more joy than my pains 
Knowing that our love will never feel any strains.
