They met and fell in love

No one knew why

A good girl

And a sports minded guy.

She went to church

He watched the games on tv

Put it on paper

It wasn’t to be.

But she loved him so

And wanted it to be

More than this life

For all eternity.

She held out her hand

And told him the plan

“I’ll lead, you follow

Just don’t let go.

It’s all true

I promise you.

We’re in this forever, together

We will be together forever.”

It took some time

But he saw the light

Grabbed hold

And held on tight.

A lifetime of adventure

A whole lot of love

Not short on laughter

That’s what life is made of.

Until the day

She lost her valiant fight

And said goodbye

Before slipping into the light.

He held her hand

And whispered the plan,

“You lead, I’ll follow

You can let go

I’m not through

Soon, I’ll join you.

We’re in this forever, together

We will be together forever.”
