Not Just Friends…to my wife
We were only kids who never would meet until “chance” took our hands.
When you were sixteen and I was fourteen we lived in very different lands.
But He knew what he was doing and moved me closer to you
We still didn’t meet in the town we lived but later in a place very new.
I didn’t know Him back then and I know you did, my life was sure a mess
You see if it weren’t for God and you I would not have found the goodness
That comes from knowing Him and now that has become my preference
My life is different oh yeah, great kids and grandkids, what a difference
How was it that you said yes to me and would still call me friend?
I never quite understood that and wondered what gift I could send
But you never needed anything to at all, just an ear to listen to you
And a place to come in case you needed to count a minute or two
One of these days I will call myself lucky but until then I will love you
I love to see you everyday and know how you are doing and see what’s new
We are married, and you are still my friend and I will never know why
God put us together but I know that until the day that I die
You will always be a part of who I am and I thank Him for giving you to me.
