1980 - 1999
You were the wind beneath my wings,
And always will be.
Thank you for sharing your life with me,
And for showing me your world.
My soulmate,
You made all my dreams come true...
God said, "A spirit of mine, I'll lend you for a while,
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
He'll bring his spirit to charm you,
His beauty to delight you,
His inner fire to distinguish him from the rest,
and if his stay be brief,
He'll leave his lovely memories to console your grief,
There is love down here
I want this spirit to learn
Will you give him all your love and not think the work in vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take him home again..."
For all the joy and beauty he brought,
the risk of grief we stood,
Forever grateful, we loved him while we could
Though he was called for much sooner than we planned
We tried to understand,
For grief is the price we pay for Love.
