My Wife
Material things were secondary
To the love you had to give
And the only thing you asked for
Was just more time to live
Time to spend with “Harriet”
After waiting for so long
To see her blossom before you
Growing day by day so strong
Now your own “baby Kelly”
Has a son all of her own
Your special grandson “Harrison” -
A boy you’ve never known
All your special wishes
Never had a chance to come true
And sadly your life ended
When they really needed you
Throughout the years you gave your love
To everyone you met
And our girls were taught lifes values
So they never would forget
You left us with a special gift
Something we all should share
The gift of always loving
And showing we really care
Our own lives now seems so empty
But we know we must be stronger
And after all those years you loved us
It will make our days seem longer.
