Although my first husband was a very good man,
and truly, we had many good times together,
but I know I've never felt this way before,
because what we share will last forever and ever.
Maybe it?s just like the eons before you were born,
can you remember anything before you came to this planet earth?
And if that?s true then I have a question:
?What has your life been for? What is it really worth??
Now you both love watching your old westerns,
we know that Mom is particularly fond of John Wayne,
and it doesn't matter how many times you've seen them before,
if it's a western, you'll watch them again and again.
She loved music and dancing and she taught us the box step,
I'll never forget the summer fun and dancing at Torch Lake,
we also loved to listen to her play the piano,
nearly as much as the apple pies she used to bake.
See, Mignonne, hath not the Rose,
That this morning did unclose
Her purple mantle to the light,
Lost, before the day be dead,
The glory of her raiment red,
Her colour, bright as yours is bright?
Actually, (NAME) (BRIDES) husband) has been a rock too,
and they both just love, ++++, (my new boyfriend),
and I just wanted to say thank you to you both,
but there's a bit more (before these lines come to their end).
But I also know that you like to travel,
so now, you're really able to stretch your wings,
and from now on, whenever I hear loud, country music
I'll close my eyes and just imagine how my angel sings.
And I may have said this before,
but I've never really said just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
In truth, he's been very successful in the plumbing business,
kitchens and baths and as mentioned before, the odd john,
but he says it how it is, his pipes are pretty straight,
and he's never done any one of us any wrong.
And from the day that I met you,
I knew that I'd been blessed by the heavens above,
I knew I'd be standing here before you,
I knew that I'd promise you my eternal love.
I believe we have known each other before now,
and that's why we've chosen our paths together,
a journey that was started so long ago,
a journey that's destined to last forever and ever.
I have never been able to express this to you before,
I've never been able to say just how truly wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
She loved music and dancing and she taught us the box step,
I'll never forget the summer fun and dancing at Torch Lake,
we also loved to listen to her play the piano,
nearly as much as the apple pies she used to bake.
And it's that love that will make me well again,
and then once again, we can have our wings unfurled,
because we've been on some great trips together,
so it won't be long before once again, we're exploring this world.
I know you both love watching men's college basketball
and you also watch a lot of football, I know,
and thanks to your "football class", Mom's now an expert,
she can spot the penalties before the ref has had a chance to blow.
We remember the camping trips at Mill Creek,
where skunks were always the uninvited guest,
and we'd attend the Presley's Mountain Music jubilee,
and Mom would laugh at Sid and the parts she liked the best.
And her short bread biscuits were simply to die for,
not to mention her sweet potato and macaroni & cheese,
and I'll never forget the Christmas Mock Crayfish,
the best ever. (Would you like some more? Yes, please!)
Lies, lies and more lies,
it's a diet that quickly wears you thin,
and then before you know it, the world's destroyed,
with no new chances to start, nowhere to begin.
And what is unfolding before us today,
really should come as no surprise,
because all this was planned so long ago,
sadly, today's telescopes also have blind eyes.
Ever since 1998, I've always treasured you,
and I know we've only been together for a short time,
but you are the music in my melody,
with you, I've found the reason in my rhyme.
(NAME), I love you more than anything,
you are my love, my very best friend,
and I just wanted to say "I love you",
(I may do so before these lines have their end).
I also know that I've never told you before,
I've never really said just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
