Still the One --- the Saga of Shirley and Yudi Nathan

She admired him, worshiped him, every hour, every day
   Never found fault with him, at home, work or play

Felt herself ever-so-lucky to be his lawful wife
   Even during moments of matrimonial strife

On Sabbath she prepared his favorite delicacies and treats 
   The house sparkled and shined---'twas Cinderella-sweet

You saw them walking together, arms locked, hand-in-hand
   Their harmonious coupling inspiring today's wedding bands

Near the end her Yudi stumbled; he landed squarely on his head 
   She thanked the Good Lord that he was injured badly, not dead

She cared for him, nursed him, fed him and dressed him
   Round the clock dedication, her feelings caressed him

When the end came, she sighed a deep sigh, wept uncontrollably
   For the man in her life, whom she'd given all of herself devotedly
