Travis

Forty-three years of waking up beside you

A gentle man with an honest heart

You were the steady light that used to guide through

Every storm that tried to pull us apart

You were as real as a man could ever be

The sturdy roots of our family tree

You always had the time to give

Taught us how to simply live

Said, "Just be yourselves," and you never judged a soul

Family was the only gold you needed to hold

I miss you more than words could ever pen

And I’ll love you, Travis, till we meet again

You never rushed when the kids were growing

You’d stop and listen to the things they said

You had a quiet way of always showing

The kind of love that kept our spirits fed

If someone needed help, you were the first in line

You gave your heart, and you always gave your time

You always had the time to give

Taught us how to simply live

Said, "Just be yourselves," and you never judged a soul

Family was the only gold you needed to hold

I miss you more than words could ever pen

And I’ll love you, Travis, till we meet again

I just want you to know how much you are missed

Every single day that passes by

Forty-three years of a love like this

Is a bond that isn't ever gonna die

'Cause you always had the time to give

Taught us how to simply live

Said, "Just be yourselves," and you never judged a soul

Family was the only gold you needed to hold

I miss you more than words could ever pen

I will love you, Travis, till we meet again

Yes, I'll love you, Travis, till we meet again
