Troy

September twenty-third, two thousand and six

We built a foundation of love, brick by brick

On our honeymoon, the happy tears started to fall

In our expressions of love, we felt it all

Through every birthday and holiday glow

You’re patient and funny, the smartest I know

A spiritual man with a soul so forgiving

Troy, you're the reason I love the life I'm living

You are my one true love, my dream come true

My beautifully answered prayer is you

You are my heartbeat, my reason to live

With all of the comfort you so freely give

You are my life, and my everything

The sweetest song that my heart could sing

You endured two surgeries to give me a child

When the dream didn't happen, we grieved for a while

When the cancer arrived, you wiped away my tears

Said, "I'd rather have you alive and imperfect, my dear"

Through knee replacements, therapy, and nighttime pain

Your hand on my head was my shelter in the rain

You're thoughtful and giving, you help me stand tall

My beautiful husband, you've loved through it all

You held me up tight at my father's grave

When Deana passed on, your love made me brave

From Lake of the Ozarks, just fishing the shore

Shopping, relaxing, and laughing for more

And our twentieth anniversary, warm in the night

In the hot tub together, just holding me tight

No expectations, just love in your eyes

The safest place under the open skies

'Cause you are my one true love, my dream come true

My beautifully answered prayer is you

You are my heartbeat, my reason to live

With all of the comfort you so freely give

You are my life, and my everything

Troy, you're the sweetest song that my heart could sing
