The year was 1952 and there were many things to rearrange
I had met the girl of my dreams, now many things would change.
We decided June 29 was to be our wedding date,
it took a little doing but neither one was late.
My lady went along with me in every thing I tried to do,
when times were hard and days were long she would help me through.
Our God was our salvation through laughter and through tears
I hope she knew my love grew deeper as we counted off the years.
As I look up to the heavens I see a golden twinkling star,
to remind me she is here with me no matter where we are.
Dear Lady while I am able to write I want the world to know,
there is no end to the list of reasons why I love you so.
From the East coast to the West coast and the places in between,
I'm left with a mountain of memories of the sights we have seen.
The many things we did together brought you closer to my heart,
until the Lord shall call my name we two shall never part.
I ask my God to help me show my love for you each day
and he has helped me many times if I seemed to lose my way.
I have loved you always through laughter and through tears,
there is NONE MORE PRECIOUS THAN "YOU" MY WIFE OF 59 YEARS
