I’ve never loved another
These many, many, years
I’m glad you don’t bother
And hold unspoken fears

You are my strength
When I am weak
And my life’s prize
None else do I seek

And in the dark
You are my light
When I cannot see
You are my sight

You help me know
Right from wrong
As life’s storms blow
You are so strong

I never bothered to say
My need of you my life
Happy, growing old and grey
Thank you, my dearest wife
