The universe is in your eyes
You smile and all it implies
The softness of your skin
Gives butterflies within
A gentle scent to golden hair
Wafts it's way through the air
The baggage I bring is not good
That at least is understood
Tension and stress weigh you down
Bring to your face a darkened frown
To see that smile disappear
Sliding down a tiny tear
Breaks my heart and makes me cry
Then I think you should say goodbye
Go off to live and find your joy
Before the pain can you destroy
Your happiness is all I need
Even when my heart does bleed
Yet by my side is where you stay
You're the eternal light in my day
I'm scarcely worth all your pain
The tears that fall like the rain
Your love for my I don't deserve
But you never, ever swerve
I don't understand why you stay
To just hurt and cry another day
For forty years you've been my life
My love, my light, my blessed wife
How you stand me I wish I knew
That is simply the wonder of you
