Lupe

We met in the grace and the quiet of church

My handsome man of our Father, ending my search

On our grandson’s birthday, the spark came alive

October thirty-first, twenty-fourteen, side by side

We started a journey I hold so dear

With a man who is loving, whose spirit is clear

Lupe, you're a wonderful father and son

As a husband to me, you're the only one

A kind, gentle man with a beautiful soul

You stepped in my life and you made it whole

And if I haven't said it, or said it enough

My darling, I love you too much

We'd go to the park and sit under the trees

Just talking for hours, enjoying the breeze

We didn't need much, just the time that we shared

I looked in your eyes and I saw how you cared

Those simple beginnings are memories I keep

The roots of this love growing steady and deep

Lupe, you're a wonderful father and son

As a husband to me, you're the only one

A kind, gentle man with a beautiful soul

You stepped in my life and you made it whole

And if I haven't said it, or said it enough

My darling, I love you too much

And when the heavy days come and I'm feeling down

You're always the one who can turn it around

What I love most in this life that we've had

Is the way you can make me laugh when I'm sad

You lift up my spirit, you truly care

I know I am safe anytime you are there

Lupe, you're a wonderful father and son

As a husband to me, you're the only one

A kind, gentle man with a beautiful soul

You stepped in my life and you made it whole

And if I haven't said it, or said it enough

My darling, I love you too much

Yes, Lupe, my love, I love you too much
