William

It was a three-in-one first date, starting out at Lazer Zone

Blue Moon Cafe and a movie screen, before we headed home

Driving by a field I yelled out a long, drawn-out "haaaaay!"

You said "what?" and I just laughed, "No, look at the hay!"

That was the start of our story, and I still smile today

William, I love you in the good and the bad

The most supportive husband that I could ever have

Through eleven years of marriage, you've been my safe place to fall

With the best hugs and a smile that can carry it all

When the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

I see your strength in the struggle, and it's more than enough

To our daughters and our son, you're a hero every day

Putting us ahead of you in every single way

You sacrifice the things you want to give us what we need

Going way above and beyond, you always take the lead

You work so hard to build this life, so caring and so true

I am so incredibly blessed to share this life with you

William, I love you in the good and the bad

The most supportive husband that I could ever have

Through eleven years of marriage, you've been my safe place to fall

With the best hugs and a smile that can carry it all

When the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

I see your strength in the struggle, and it's more than enough

We’ve faced some heavy family losses, said some hard goodbyes

You held us through the sorrow with the quiet in your eyes

When I haven't been the easiest to love, you loved me anyway

You are our family's stronghold, keeping the dark at bay

I look at who you are right now, and I am just so proud

I'd stand up on a mountain top and say your name out loud

I appreciate the man you are, my partner and my friend

I will stand right by your side until the very end

William, I love you in the good and the bad

The most supportive husband that I could ever have

Through eleven years of marriage, you've been my safe place to fall

With the best hugs and a smile that can carry it all

When the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

I see your strength in the struggle

Yeah, I see your strength in the struggle, and it's more than enough
