Susan

April twenty-eighth, two thousand and six

Davao, the Land of Promise, where the pieces seemed to fit

You were down to earth and funny, patient, sweet, and wise

I still remember the first time I looked into your eyes

Then came February fourteenth, two thousand and eight

We started out together and we put our trust in faith

Through the ups and downs we learned to lean upon each other

I knew right then and there, I'd never want another

Oh, Susan, you're my better half, my anchor, and my strength

To keep you safe from hardships, I would go to any length

For twelve years as my wife, you've stayed right by my side

I'm sorry for the heartaches and the tears that you have cried

I'm honored to be loved by you, I'm proud to call you mine

I will love you, my sweet Susan, until the end of time

October twenty-eighth, the year was twenty-fourteen

We stood before our God and family, living out a dream

We made a holy vow to walk together in His ways

And your God-fearing spirit has guided all my days

You gave me a family that some only wish to have

With handsome boys I cherish, who always make me laugh

And an angel in our hearts who is watching from above

Our home is held together by your never-ceasing love

Oh, Susan, you're my better half, my anchor, and my strength

To keep you safe from hardships, I would go to any length

For twelve years as my wife, you've stayed right by my side

I'm sorry for the heartaches and the tears that you have cried

I'm honored to be loved by you, I'm proud to call you mine

I will love you, my sweet Susan, until the end of time

We may be a little older, getting closer to our gray

But you still look exactly like you did that very first day

You're the same amazing woman that I fell for from the start

Despite the times I stumbled and brought trouble to your heart

I never want to see you face a hardship or a pain

I just want to be your shelter when you're standing in the rain

Oh, Susan, you're my better half, my anchor, and my strength

To keep you safe from hardships, I would go to any length

For twelve years as my wife, you've stayed right by my side

I'm sorry for the heartaches and the tears that you have cried

I'm honored to be loved by you, I'm proud to call you mine

I will love you, my sweet Susan, until the end of time
