Over 40 years of love
of our intertwined life
over 40 years of marriage
of me being your wife
As in all relationships
we've had our ups and downs
but still we stood together
and firmly held our ground
The day you came into my world
My life changed for the better
You became my heart, my life
my lover and my treasure
Many people never get
to know this kind of love
never have a person
That seems sent from above
I looked forward to our future
as we grew old and grey
living deep in our love
until our dying day
Alas that day has come
sooner than we thought
But today is not goodbye
but merely au revoir
I made a vow to you
till death us do part
but was not prepared
for this pain in my heart
Today I make another
to the man who stole my heart
Someday I hope to meet him
someday I know not when
To clasp his hand in the better land
never to part again.
Sleep well Pete - love you always and missing you dreadfully
