[ To My Beloved Wife ]
[ There Is One Huge Favor That I Want To Ask Of You, Right
     @ This Moment, In My Life ]

[ What I Ask Of You, Is That You Out Live Me, For @ Least A Day ]
[ Because Then I Wouldn’t Have To Find A Way ]

[ To Live My Life Without You In It ]
[ Because I Treasure Every Minute ]

[ That We Are Together ]
[ We Have Persevered, Through All Kinds Of Issues & Weather ]

[ Every Couple Has Their Ups & Downs, Here & There ]
[ But When The Problems Raise Their Ugly Heads ]
[ We Help Each Other, Because We Care ]

[ I Don’t Want To Live Without You By My Side ]
[ I Have Never Wanted To Take That, Solo Ride ]

[ We Have Already Gone Through So Many Chapters In
     Our Book ]
[ We Have So Many More Chapters Ahead Of Us, If You Want
     To Take A Look ]

[ Life In My (60’s) Is Fast Approaching, You See ]
[ Father Time Has Yet To Beat Me & Force Me To Take A Knee ]

[ Sometimes, I Do Almost Feel Beat ]
[ When I Am Standing On My Own (2) Feet ]
[ That Is When You Come Near Me & Offer Me A Seat ]

[ I Don’t Have The Energy That I Had When I Was In My Youth ]
[ But I Am Old Enough & Honest Enough To Tell You
     The Truth ]

[ I Have Always Wanted, Needed For Me To Go First ]
[ I Could Never Get Over The Site Of You In A Hearse ]

[ You Adapt Much Better Than I Have Ever Had To ]
[ If You Were To Go First, I Would Not Have A Clue ]
[ In What To Do ]

[ I Try To Not Ask You Of Very Much ]
[ & I Know That This Big Of An Ask, Is Much More Than Asking
     You For Lunch ]
[ But I Have A Hunch ]
[ That You Do Not Like Talking About Such & Such ]

[ I Have Never Liked When I Wake In The Middle Of The Night ]
[ & You Are Not To My Right ]

[ That Would Send My Mind Reeling ]
[ Because You Know That I Never Liked That Empty Feeling ]

[ My Insides Would Be So Torn ]
[ If It Was You, That I Would Have To Mourn ]

[ Could You Easily ]
[ Do This Favor, For Me? ]
