Bill

Sixty-one years of a beautiful grace

With my patient man, my favorite place

You were a quiet soul who kept the beat

Playing the drums, making life complete

I miss the evenings just watching TV

The peace of your presence right next to me

I miss your tender touch, I miss your voice

But in the life we shared, I still rejoice

Oh, Bill, you’re singing in the heavenly choir

Our years serving God lifted higher and higher

I hold you so close, right here in my heart

Even though for a season we have to part

You gave me a love of infinite worth

And I’ll love you always, more than dirt

Out on the water, the morning was clear

Casting a line with the boys you held dear

Fishing with Jonathan and Jason all day

You showed us your love in a quiet, strong way

Then all of the grandkids would come running round

Calling for PaPaw, the sweetest sound

A legacy built on a gentle, deep faith

Guiding our family and keeping us safe

I still hear you telling your Blondie you care

I feel your sweet spirit when I bow in prayer

We stood in the church, lifting voices above

Now I'm standing here, just reflecting on love

I think of you daily, through tears and through smiles

Your memory reaches across all the miles

Oh, Bill, you’re singing in the heavenly choir

Our years serving God lifted higher and higher

I hold you so close, right here in my heart

Even though for a season we have to part

You gave me a love of infinite worth

And I’ll love you always, more than dirt

Yes, my patient man of infinite worth

I will love you always, more than dirt
