She Waits For Me

Text

She waits for me

Slowly we turn together, heel and heel

She envelops me in love

21 years never wavered

Good tmes and bad, endured

Kiss and hug, laugh and cry

The things we promised ourselves

When we tied the knot


She waits for me

The child I raised, born and nurtured in love

Smiling with sunshine, She warms my heart

14 years in life

Though we both changed

We never questioned it

Parental love transcends all

Since we tied that cord


She waits for me

The woman I saw in myself, fiery and free

Glowing with confidence, she makes me whole

49 years in waiting

My world is different now

How could I question it?

My family bathes me in love

Since I unwrapped this gift
