He never made a fortune, or a noise
In the world where men are seeking after fame;
But he had a healthy brood of girls and boys
Who loved the very ground on which he trod.
They thought him just little short of God;
Oh you should have heard the way they said his name –
‘Father.’
There seemed to be a loving little prayer
In their voices, even when they called him ‘Dad.’
Though the man was never heard of anywhere,
As a hero, yet somehow understood
He was doing well his part and making good;
And you knew it, by the way his children had
Of saying ‘Father.’
He gave them neither eminence nor wealth,
But he gave them blood untainted with a vice,
And opulence of undiluted health.
He was honest, and unpurchable and kind;
He was clean in heart, and body, and in mind.
So he made them heirs to riches without price –
This father.
He never preached or scolded; and the rod –
Well, he used it as a turning pole in play.
But he showed the tender sympathy of God.
To his children in their troubles, and their joys.
He was always chum and comrade with his boys,
And his daughters – oh, you ought to hear them say
‘Father.’
Now I think of all achievements ‘tis the least
To perpetuate the species; it is done
By the insect and the serpent, and the beast.
But the man who keeps his body, and his thought,
Worth bestowing on an offspring love-begot,
Then the highest earthly glory he was won,
When in pride a grown-up daughter or a son
Says ‘That’s Father.’

I had walked through life with nothing until you; until you, I knew no pleasure.
And then one day God sent you to me; you, my wife, my treasure.
A gift from God, a gift so fine that you can never be measured.
A love so fine, so sweet, so kind; it's you, my love; you, my wife, my treasure.
I promise to hug and kiss and hold you each day.
I promise a love with devotion that will never ever fade away.
I promise and swear to God above
To show you nothing but my pure love.
I will admire the blessing of your boundless love,
Because I know that you are a true gift from heaven above.
I will not hurt you with my frustrations.
I will hold you close and kiss you with loving admiration.
I will always appreciate your commitment to me.
Give me a chance, for can't you see?
This is not a game of chance that we play.
It is true love that I swear is committed to stay.
You say that at times you are afraid.
This one I can find no rhyme so let me be clear:
I will...
Love you endlessly
Devote my life to making you happy
Admire you each day for the person you are
Take interest in the things that you like to do
Admire your beauty daily in awe and reflect it back to you
Be attentive to you and your needs
Be forgiving
Listen to you with never a harsh word in return (I swear it and pray for it in God's name)
Show you by my actions that I love you
Be more open and fun to you, your family and friends
Never go to bed without you
Rub you, kiss you, bathe you, lift you up or whatever it takes when you are feeling down.
I will kiss you and love you all that I possibly can,
And don't be embarrassed to be seen holding my hand.
I will treasure each day as if it were our last,
And at the end of your life you won't regret me being your past.
You are the sunshine in my morning, and like a the bird, I will sing you a song.
I know that in this life when I am troubled, through God it's you who keeps me strong.
You are the mother of my children and the air that gives me life,
My truest friend of all, my heart, my soul, my wife.
I love you very much; you are all that is good in this world.

Why has He taken you from me?
Torn from my side, where you should be.
Forty-six years we lived as one
To stand stronger than we had begun.
You're deep within my heart each day,
The love I crave each time I pray,
The arms I need to hold me tight,
To rid each wrong and make it right.
Your valor was beyond the norm.
You weathered each and every storm.
Whatever challenges you faced,
You conquered with courage and grace.
Unlike you, I'm not self-assured.
Whatever strength I showed was yours.
You held my hands and quelled my fears.
You helped me smile and dried my tears.
Where are you? Are you very near?
Are you so close that you can hear
My voice pleading for one more day,
Just one, before you're lured away?
They say that time will ease the pain,
Yet days fly by and grief remains.
I miss you! Do you miss me, too?
Are you happy, Love? Oh, where are you?

Loving and loyal,
A friend through and through,
How in the world can I
live life without you?
I've known you since you
Were just a scrappy little pup.
Fighting to survive,
And you never gave up.
I watched you grow into a
beautiful canine friend.
Back in those days,
I could not imagine this end.
But now it is all over,
And you're truly gone.
Somehow I'll find a way
To try to carry on.
Perhaps one day I'll find
A new puppy who,
Will become my dear friend,
But she'll never replace you.
I'll keep your little photo
hung up on my wall,
And I'll always remember you
As the very best dog of all.

When my legs grew too weak to carry me,
And my tired eyes could no longer see,
When it pained me to struggle for each new breath,
When my heart beat weaker, and I drew closer to death,
You did me the kindness of letting me go.
You didn't make me hang on when I was suffering so.
I promise I don't think that you loved me any less,
And I love you all the more for your selflessness.
You freed my spirit from its body so wracked with pain,
And let me run the fields of Heaven, where I'm sure we'll meet again.
