My Lifetime Companion It's nearly time for me to bake Another birthday cake for you Blowing candles, making wishes And hoping they all come true But what it really means is You've been Blessed another year With health, strength,mind And all that you hold dear As I think back through the years Forty Seven, you've now seen We've been together twenty four THe good years and the lean Sometimes I wonder how we made it When things got really bad But then I only try to think Of all the fun we've had Somehow we kept hanging on Through all the toil and strife For God just don't make mistakes And He joined us for life Yes, God has really Blessed you But I am sure you know Always keep Him in your heart Where ever you may go I guess I am just not to good Expressing how I feel But the love I have deep in my heart For you is very real For what time we both have Down here on earth below I want to share each moment With the one that I love so With the children grown and they have gone Down their own life's road We can only pray they'll live for God From the tiny seeds we've sown SO once more, it's just you and me The way it first began I want to be here for you Until we reach the end If God should call you home Before it is my time Wait patiently for me my love I'll follow close behind But if it's me to reach Home first Try not to grieve or cry For we will be together again Some day by and by All our worries will be behind us Our tears will be no more We'll always be together then A million years and more With that thought I'll say Goodnight And I love you once again You're a Precious part of my Life I'd do it all again ~*© Raylene Boggs*~ 2002 Written in 1985 for my husband Ben I married him at age 15 We have been Blessed with 2 children Nine Grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren And 40 years of marriage   Song By: Tanya Tucker For entertainment purposes only
