Best Friends

Long before this life began,
We stood together hand in hand.
You came first to prepare the way,
I had to wait, so we'd meet someday.

The life you had before we met,
Prepared you for the best life yet.
You weathered storms with awesome charm,
So someday we'd be arm in arm.

You like to call me your shining knight
'Tis you who brought the glorious light.
It blesses all who you have met,
Including both your loving pets.

You have made my life complete,
Filled with joy you make it sweet.
I do not wish it ever end,
Together we'll forever spend.

The love you show our children dear,
Teaches them that God is near.
Your blessed name they'll not forget,
For they're forever in your debt.

You have been my greatest friend,
And that, my love, will never end.
That's the beauty of His plan,
Our families to forever span.

The day will come that you'll be crowned,
Free from trial no longer bound.
You and I again will stand,
With our children, hand in hand.
