You were my first love, you made my heart sing.
Five months later, you gave me a ring.
There were those who said it wouldn't last.
But, one by one, the years have passed.

There was joy in your eyes for our first son.
Then, four years later, another was born.
The years rushed by, the boys picked brides.
We looked on, our eyes filled with pride.

The joy of a grandbaby, you got to know.
Though, for just a short while, before you had to go.
Thirty two years have come and went.
The last anniversary, in the hospital was spent.

I watched at your bedside day by day.
As little by little, you slipped away,
To be with your Lord up above.
I know you're in heaven, my husband, my love.
