The love of my life

I never forget the day we first met,
You stood so tall, long hair and all,
Was not sure you were a girl or boy.

I glanced at you once, and thought no chance,
But as the night went on, I know you were the one,

We where teenage lovers, when we went out with one and other,
The love I had for you, I did not want no other,

Three days a week we would see one another,
As work stopped us from being together,
I would sit by the phone every night,
Just for it to ring an we would chat till morning light,

Years went by, our hearts grow stronger,
Carrying our first born, you nearly lost us all,
But with gods caring hand, helped us survive,

With one lovely child it soon became five,
We lost one on the way, which left us with four,
As god wanted baby Paul,

As time went on we raised our kids,
Then came all our grandkids, which we both cherished,

What went wrong along the way, our love?
For each other started dyeing day by day.
I just felt you push me away

Then the day came, struck by an illness,
That dreaded C word that everyone hated,
The time came to say good bye,
But our love for you will never die

R,I,P Paul my loving husband
