April Twenty Third

Today is April twenty three
It  is the best day of my life
 Happy Birthday to you Barbara
You are my dear departed wife

You are still here with me
In my heart and in my mind
Though you're looking down from Heaven
You have not left me here behind

God in all his wisdom
Sent you to me long ago
To bring me love and happiness
And to give my life a glow

Two and fifty years together
We celebrated on this day
My life with you was wonderful
No one can take that time away

We said our vows and meant them
Set all others to the side
Loved and held each other
Thank you God for such a ride

We were one for all our marriage
Went through everything together
Co-pilots in the bluest skies
And in the stormiest of weather

As I sit here in this early morn
Looking back on all those days
I celebrate that you were born
Give God and Jesus all the praise

Amen and Amen
