My Husband
I call him the quiet man
this man I call my husband
He is always there
to give me a hand
I wear his golden band
He wears my ring
on his head a silver crown
curls around
He is my king
Through thick & thin
we have gone through together
the good, the bad, rain & sun
whatever the weather
no matter what, or for how long
our love is ever strong
He is my quiet man
until the end of time
JUNE LESLIE
