Jim

Seven months along, riding down to Arkansas

To see your family, the sweetest days I ever saw

Cramped in the backseat of that little Pinto car

It wasn't comfortable, but love can travel far

I cherished every moment, every bump in the road

With my kind, gentle husband helping carry the load

Oh Jim, you are my life, my one of a kind

The most marvelous soulmate that a woman could find

Now that you're in heaven, a piece of me went too

I will never be able to love anyone but you

You are my heart and my soul, my joy and my pride

Oh, thank you Lord, we had a great ride

Baby Jason in the back, driving up to Oregon

Almost lost it in the snow before the morning sun

Trying to see Aunt Helen, praying we'd survive

But your steady, loving hands kept us all alive

Then down to Modesto, to Grandma's open door

Every memory we made just makes me love you more

Down by the White River in Cotter, Arkansas

Jason and Lisa running, standing in awe

Then we moved to Texas, an empty house and cold

Caught COVID in a snowstorm, but we had hands to hold

Through the sunshine and the blizzards, you were my safe place

I see the grace of God every time I picture your face

I think of you every minute of every single day

Though the angels came down and carried you away

You're still my forever, my wonderful man

I'm holding onto faith until I hold your hand

I'll keep walking this earth with your spirit in my chest

Praising God for a husband who left my soul so blessed

Oh Jim, you are my life, my one of a kind

The most marvelous soulmate that a woman could find

Now that you're in heaven, a piece of me went too

I will never be able to love anyone but you

You are my heart and my soul, my joy and my pride

Oh, thank you Lord, we had a great ride

Yes, thank you Lord, we had a great ride
