Longer than there've been fishes
In the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars
Up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
You brought fires in the winters
I sent showers in the springs
We flew through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire
Starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the
Pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.
Husband - I miss you so much. I will always be forever yours.

Wayne you were a good and honest man and I am going to miss our talks. My heart goes out to your wife Penny. You told me that she was your best friend and soulmate and I can only imagine the enormity of her grief and loss. Rest in peace my friend.
