Ode To Deborah

Her hair would fan out in the wind She would laugh, running her fingers through it Her eyes would sparkle seeing a friend With all my buddies, she was a big hit. But it was her heart that captured me She was sweet and good, tried and true Principled, she valued the finer things in life She said, “I’ll gladly share my life with you!” For thirty-five years she was my soulmate Never being selfish, uncaring, or unkind From our first exciting adventure together She always had our well-being in mind. She was special in the best kinds of ways Our lives moved along smoothly together, She worked hard to make our marriage great I’ll love my Deborah for ever and ever.
