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.
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?
Always in a good mood, ready to do something else,
and I must admit, you did like to joke around,
but what I wouldn't give to hear your laugh once more,
because truly, it really was such a happy sound.
I say a solemn prayer for you every night,
and I ask God to keep you safe and far from harms,
because I know just how truly special you are,
I know how loved I feel when you hold me in your arms.
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.
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!)
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.
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??
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.
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.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
Grandmother always had a joke for us,
she was full of vim and vigor and the joy of life,
she was a wonderful mother and grandmother,
and of course, she was a loving and dedicated wife.

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.
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).
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.
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.
