Chris

It’s been ten long years since I saw your face

But time hasn't emptied your side of the place

You ran toward the danger, you answered the call

A firefighter's courage, you gave it your all

Chris, you were the husband who steadied my hand

With a quiet kind of wisdom I could understand

You were my Honeybunch, and I was your Boo

A compassionate heart that always shone through

I miss all the laughter and the jokes you would share

I look at your picture and wish you were there

Ten years of missing the love of my life

But I'll always be proud that I was your wife

I still hear the sirens out on the street

And I think of the heavy black boots on your feet

You gave all you had to the people in need

But coming back home was your favorite speed

You’d walk through the door and light up the dark

With a funny little smile and a loving remark

You were my Honeybunch, and I was your Boo

A compassionate heart that always shone through

I miss all the laughter and the jokes you would share

I look at your picture and wish you were there

Ten years of missing the love of my life

But I'll always be proud that I was your wife

A whole decade of seasons, of winter and spring

I still hold your memory just like a ring

They say time is a healer, but I know the truth

I’ll spend all my tomorrows just missing you

'Cause you were my Honeybunch, and I was your Boo

A compassionate heart that always shone through

I miss all the laughter and the jokes you would share

I look at your picture and wish you were there

Ten years of missing the love of my life

Chris, I'll always be proud that I was your wife
