Jay Wyatt Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Perfect Love The love of my life, my companion, my wife Has gone home to heaven, she took that great flight. God blessed me with her, when we were both young So full of life, alive and high-strung. We saw much sunshine; we went through much rain Good times and bad times, laughter and pain. Sometimes we laughed, and sometimes we cried But what ever we went through, she stayed by my side. She always loved me, no doubt in my mind Caring, compassionate, forgiving and kind. Her last years were painful, her last days were rough And though she was suffering, she stayed faithful and tough. She couldn't eat, and she couldn't walk And in her last hours, she couldn't even talk. But now she is feasting and singing glad songs And on streets of gold, she is running along. Safe in the presence, of her Savior and Lord Her battle is over, her body's restored. Good people pass away, often before their time But those who follow godly paths, rest in peace when they die. I'm sad and I'll miss her, I'm grieved and I'm hurt Because she's up in Heaven and I'm still on earth. But I'll see her again; I'll be with her someday Because Jesus my Savior, has provided the way. I loved her, the only way I knew how My love wasn't perfect, but she's loved perfect now.

Jay Wyatt Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I wrote it the day after Mary passed. I was riding home from the church cemetery after choosing her burial plot and the first sentence came to me. After I got home I wrote down that sentence and the rest just flowed from my heart.
