William

We found our way back on a digital screen

A Facebook reunion, a beautiful scene

You posted your number for all folks to see

But I knew that lifeline was reaching for me

We stayed up talking deep into the night

Sharing our souls till the morning brought light

William, your voice was a comforting sound

The sweetest connection my spirit had found

You are my covering, patient and kind

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine

You treat me like a queen when my flaws are in view

A tender protector, so steady and true

I will never doubt the love that you give

And I'll cherish your heart for as long as I live

I’ll never forget that December sunrise

The family gathered, the tears in my eyes

You didn't take one knee, you got down on two

On Christmas morning, pledging "I do"

We didn't wait for the seasons to change

You had the preacher already arranged

The shortest engagement that history’s known

By the afternoon sun, we were building our home

You are my covering, patient and kind

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine

You treat me like a queen when my flaws are in view

A tender protector, so steady and true

I will never doubt the love that you give

And I'll cherish your heart for as long as I live

I will never question the devotion you show

It’s a steady, deep river that continues to flow

So giving and selfless, so faithful to me

I will love you, my William, into eternity

You are my covering, patient and kind

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine

You treat me like a queen when my flaws are in view

A tender protector, so steady and true

I will never doubt the love that you give

And I'll cherish your heart for as long as I live

Yes, I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine
