Twenty Five Years 2nd Edition

He's seen me at my worst,
He's seen me at my best,
He's grinned and beared it,
When I've put him to the test.
He's mopped my brow,
He's held me over the loo,
He's cleaned up after me,
That's just what he's supposed to do.
He's told me when I'm wrong,
He's put me in my place,
He's only done it when I deserved it,
Especially if I screamed in his face.
He's made me laugh out loud,
He's seen drinks come down my nose,
He's made me feel beautiful,
From my head down to my toes.
He's shown me what love is,
He's been patient and strong,
He's given me a place to be,
That's right where I belong.
