As the band of gold was slipped on her hand.
She silently thank God for sending her this man.

As he looked at this woman soon to be his wife.
He silently thank God for bringing her in his life.

Their wedding day was as beautiful as could be.
The love they shared everyone could see.

Their love would last til the end of time.
But a tragedy would happen on down the line.

They were married six months to the day.
When the Lord called her husband away.

To his wife he had said please don`t cry.
No more pain will I feel inside.

My love for you will forever be.
Later on in heaven your face I`ll see.

He closed his eyes and he was gone.
Heaven now would be his new home.

She looked at her husband to young to die.
She thought about the baby she carried inside.

A part of him would always be near.
Then in her eyes one tear did appear.

I will not cry as she held his hand.
She kissed the hand that wore his wedding band.

Goodbye my love she said as she walked away.
In my heart your love will stay.
