Forty-six years ago I met her
And I first saw that smile
Two years on a campus
When I was young and wild
Out of there by twenty-one
Struggling to cope
With no sense of direction
Losing faith and losing hope
At twenty-two I saw her
A crowded football game
She smiled and said they missed me
Surprised she knew my name
She hugged me, smiled and walked away
Sweet Angel, one so kind
And I returned to darkness
Walking lonely, feeling blind
Thirty-four years slipped away
I tripped and stumbled on
With no thought of this Angel
My heart became like stone
Nine years ago I found her
When my heart needed a friend
Someone to simply care
As all I knew came to an end
Her friendship and compassion
Helped heal my broken heart
She helped me learn to smile again
New life began to start
I tried to hide my feelings
For two years deep inside
Until she fell six years ago
No longer would I hide
Five years ago we married
And ending, oh so sweet
But our story has more chapters
Before it is complete
I cannot know how many years
We'll share here in this life
But I'll cherish every day with her
My best friend, love and wife
