Kris

For twenty years the seasons turn,

Beneath the changing skies.

A quiet peace my soul has learned,

Within my husband's eyes.

Through every chapter we have seen,

Through every path we've walked,

You are the steady space between

The silence and the talk.

Oh, Kris, your spirit is so kind,

Your patient heart is true.

Compassion that is hard to find,

In everything you do.

I need no complicated vow,

To say what has been true:

Through all the years, and even now,

I simply just love you.

When heavy shadows cross the day,

Your loving hands are near.

You guide me in a gentle way,

And quiet every fear.

A shelter built on solid ground,

A comfort in the night.

In your embrace, my heart has found

A constant, warming light.

Oh, Kris, your spirit is so kind,

Your patient heart is true.

Compassion that is hard to find,

In everything you do.

I need no complicated vow,

To say what has been true:

Through all the years, and even now,

I simply just love you.

Two decades measured not in gold,

But in the grace you show.

The sweetest story we have told,

Is watching this love grow.

You give without a second thought,

You listen and you care.

Of all the blessings life has brought,

None other can compare.

Oh, Kris, your spirit is so kind,

Your patient heart is true.

Compassion that is hard to find,

In everything you do.

I need no complicated vow,

To say what has been true:

Through all the years, and even now,

I simply just love you.

My steady husband, kind and true,

I simply just love you.
