If I should lose my wife today

My life would be in disarray

I don’t know what I’d do instead

If God should take her home



She’s more than just a wife to me

More than friend or family

She’s heaven sent from God to me

Beside her I belong



Her smile is what I’d long to see

Her loss would leave a vacancy

My heart would suffer desperately

Without her by my side



Her laugh, her look, her favorite show

Would daily in my memory grow

Until the tears began to flow

Because she’s not here to share



I‘d miss the way she played those keys

I’d miss the way she’d scowl at me

I’d miss her most amid the pleas

Of grandkids wondering why



She has more friends than I can count

Her laugh fills up a room, no doubt

Her life was always all about

How she could lend a hand



If God should take my wife today

I’d bow my head and say a prayer

Help me be strong and peaceful stay

‘Til you should call me home.
