Eleanor, My Pride and Joy

I’ve traveled this wide country, all across this great land

And met many people, and shook a welcome hand

But none more so than a lady, who was to be my life

And that loving lady, my ever loving wife.

We’ve been to many places, and traveled to places within reach

There’s no place we love better, than our Hawaiian beach

It was there not so long ago, we joined our loving hands

We were joined together, on our fingers, golden bands.

She stands beside me, when I am feeling low

I see that childish grin, then I am all aglow

We have our lives to live, and friends to share it with

We have our ups and downs, we also have our bliss.

She is not just my wife, but a friend very true

And is not just there for me, but also for you

She is the love of my life, a joy to behold

And together we shall be, as we do grow old.
