The Greatest Gift
The greatest gift of my life,
Has to be my wonderful wife,
Who, from the moment she captured my heart,
Has been, to my life, the biggest part!
She has a heart as big as a mountain,
And, the love from her flows like a fountain,
She lifts me up when I am down,
She truly deserves a golden crown.
I hope she gets that crown some day,
But not until she's old and gray,
'cause you see, God, she's a wonderful wife,
So, please, let me keep, for a long time, the
greatest gift of my life!
