You Will Always Be My Wife

A Tribute to my wife, Vera S. Hinshaw (4 June 1935 - 19 July 2018)

Honey, it has been just a few days since they lowered the lid on your coffin.
Oh, how I cherish our sixty-six years together - I recall them so very often.

I thank God each and every day for bringing you into my life.
I was truly blessed and the happiest man on earth to have you as my wife.

Dear, we endured the many vicissitudes of life in the journey that we shared.
Your concern was for the welfare of others and it showed you truly cared.

You sincerely loved everybody and everyone loved you in return.
You made my life complete - for that the flame in my heart will ever burn.

You mothered three precious children that made our life complete,
And they in return gave us treasured grandchildren with such joy replete.

I miss you so very much but I have this certain consolation,
That you now rest in the arms of Our Savior with His promise of salvation.

Dearest, I'll always wear my wedding ring - there'll be no other in my life,
For you, darling Vera, for all eternity will be my beloved wife.
