A single man walks the earth
In search for meaning and love
Knowing in faith that always
A plan is set from above
One day the man meets woman
And both their souls collide
For the plan is set in action
They know this can't be denied
And so they make their promise
A vow never spoken before
They swear to love each other
From now and forever more
They grow in love and devotion
Building a home rooted in Christ
Their promises are never broken
For any temptation nor heist
The years fly by quickly
Gray hair places what was before
And still the man and woman
Love now and forever more
But lo a challenge arises
As pain begins to set in
The woman clutches her rosary
For she knows what's to begin
The labs and white costs preach
But the couple sees not a chore
The man hold her hand tightly
Through this and forever more
The poison drips slowly
And a deadline is all but set
But the courageous feel no fear
The end is not here yet
Through sickness they sing and pray
And the woman her life she fights for
But she grows weak and with her eyes
Says she can fight no more
The man holds her gently
As her spirit leaver her side
And her soul finds its peace
As the man softly cries
His tears tell the story
But he knows as was told before
He kisses her cheek softly
Promising to love her forever more
And the woman she rejoices
And her eyes how they open
Her heart is filled with love
As she enters the gates of heaven
And just as the man promised
And our Savior did before
She and we can live in his kingdom
Now and forever more.
Dedicated to the memory of a woman who ended her fight against cancer last month and a man who loved her dearly.
