Together

I always felt

You were the one

I'd be with all my life

We met, we loved

We lived together

Then you became my wife

We shared some great times

Good and bad

We laughed when happy

Cried when sad

As time went on

Our hearts did lift

When we were blessed

With god's great gifts

Our children, Jeff and Gabby too

Brought a wealth of joy

We never knew

That's when life got in the way

The stress of work

Not enough play

Others always in the way

We carried on a futile quest

Chasing dreams and happiness

Trying hard to do our best

We ended up with so much less

It's not that easy

As we now know

It never was, right from the start

One thing we learned, as we did go

Is happiness

Only comes from the heart

And I would much rather be with you

Than to ever part
