A Tribute to My Husband
My greatest gift
was finding you,
A husband who was loving,
faithful and true.
No matter how rough
the road might have been,
You traveled it daily
with me to the end.
Always holding me up
when I was feeling low,
No greater love
could a woman know.
You will be
in my heart forever,
Elaine
