I know it's to much to ask,

But I can't help myself.

Just a ragmuffin man,

With a woman whose top shelf.

A lifetime of love,

We two have shared.

No matter where,

I never cared.

Regardless how much I gave,

It never really mattered.

She doubled it up,

My cup she shattered.

So much you've given,

I can hardly speak.

I dare to believe,

You can give what I seek.

I have no right,

For another 40 years.

To be in her presence,

And dry her tears.

But ask it I will,

For I'm smitten you see.

The woman who I have,

Courtesy of thee.
