The Last Kiss

All those faithful years you've been by my
side. I still remember the vows we spoke
until death due us part, will always remain
in my heart.

We raised our children in our lovely home,
then retired to travel and be free to roam.

You are my love, my life and my very best
friend, I hope our life together will never
end.

What a comfort you've been through our
married years, even though the road was
rough we managed to survive, we have
endured.

Never have I gone to bed without you by my
side, we always kissed and hugged and said
good-night, only to awake with the morning
sunlight.

Upon awakening you didn't stir, I leaned
over to kiss your ear, but you didn't
respond. Oh, my God my husband is gone,
how will I ever find the strength to go on?

I'm so grateful for our last kiss and the
words I love you, I will always miss.

I will never surrender my endless love
because you my dear will never be gone.
You are my love and my very best friend,
until death due us part came much to soon
I loved you so much what am I to do?

I still feel your lips pressed gently to
mine, a day doesn't go by that I haven't
cried.

We will meet again someday as we embrace
our lips will touch, then we will fly
together like a morning dove to symbolize
our eternal love.
