The Wonder Years

The Wedding Vows say till death do us part

Reality of this leaves me with a broken heart

I think when I met you, you were that special guy

We were young, barely teens, both a little shy

Now when I go back to that empty Bonham Square

I feel the presence of that smiling blue eyed boy standing there

Miles, the weather, or a year in the army, you were still my sweetheart

On September 13^th, 1947 we were ready for a Matrimonial Start

We’ve had our disappointments but after seven years came joy

Our first was born, a healthy beautiful baby boy

Real soon another a dainty little brown eyed baby girl

Wonderful our family complete, surprise another chubby cheeked baby girl

Too soon we became empty nesters

Time went so fast seemed like only yesteryear

We still worked side by side everyday

When Richey went to work in the business we could get away

Our first get-a-way to Hawaii for five days

I wanted to slow down but the store needed you there

I was happy for a two week cruise once a year

Time went by too quickly but the memories are so dear

The greatest thing said to me was He really loved you

I hope and pray you know I really love you too.
