The Love of a Lifetime



It was the year of 1966,
A boy name John met
A girl name Kathy, They
Knew right from the start
IT WAS THE LOVE OF A LIFETIME

With you by my side I
Knew that I could conquer all.
When I was weak, I had no doubt
For I knew I had the
Love of a lifetime.

1,2,3,4  and then along came
Number 5.  Which is definitely
A handful though the years,
We had our Ups and Downs
Our Ins and outs I’m just
Glad I have you and the
Love of a lifetime.

A Family like Ours I know
That you will always be there,
With Arms open wide
From Rags to a lifetime of riches
God granted  Us the Courage, and strength
To pass on  The LOVE OF A LIFETIME.
