Because we met
My life took on a new meaning.
Because i loved you
My life became so very expressive.
Because you loved me
My life completely changed forever.
Because we were married
My life was totally committed to you.
Because we had a child
My life took on a deeper new meaning.
Because we had three more
My life filled with love overflowing.
Because our children grew
My life's challenges and love increased.
Because our love grew
My life's horizons vastly expanded.
Because we prayed together
My life's faith grew beyond my potential.
Because you became ill
My life was reduced to the essential.
Because you died
My life was suddenly shattered.
Because you still live
My life must be repaired
To be better than it was before.
I will dance with a heart full of God's love
And a soul full of songs of hope, peace and trust
Until God wills my body to be returned to dust.
