Nonnie

I don't always have the perfect words to say

To show the way I'm feeling every day

But Nonnie, you are patient, you are wise

You matter more than you could realize

I've shared the parts of me I usually hide

Because you brought a comfort to my life

I'm praying for a love that's safe and real

A peace that we can understand and feel

I don't expect perfection from our hands

Just honesty and grace to help us stand

I want you to remember, come what may

I believe in you and care for you always

From all the inside jokes that make us smile

To the vacations where we rest a while

Or just the quiet time of sitting near

Your funny, encouraging spirit draws me here

We both have room to grow and things to mend

But I am walking with you, hand in hand

I'm praying for a love that's safe and real

A peace that we can understand and feel

I don't expect perfection from our hands

Just honesty and grace to help us stand

I want you to remember, come what may

I believe in you and care for you always

My heart has been through shadows in the past

But I still choose to care and hold you fast

And when the spoken words are hard to find

I want the very best for you in mind

A sanctuary built on truth and trust

A quiet, healing grace for both of us

I'm praying for a love that's safe and real

A peace that we can understand and feel

I don't expect perfection from our hands

Just honesty and grace to help us stand

I want you to remember, come what may

I believe in you and care for you always

Oh Nonnie, I will care for you always
