THE YEAR AFTER YOUI look out our kitchen window and seeA bench and a garden in your memory.I remember those days we'd take rides on the quadTo admire the beautiful works of our God.We'd ride to the pond; you'd drink a cold beerAnd we'd talk about plans we had made for that year.Then came the day our talks took a turnAs your cancer was now my major concern.But your major concern was just about meAnd you talked about what my future would be.I know you were worried - "Babe, how will things go?There's really so much that you need to know."But family and friends blessed the year after youWith all of the awesome things they would do.Well Mark, let me tell you that I'll be OKThese special people get me through each day.They help me with chores I can't do aloneAnd do it all gladly — no gripe and no groan.Your own selfless deeds, unique word expressionsAnd your smile left quite a few lasting impressions.Because of the man you were, you're not gone'Cause the love you left here in our hearts now lives on.And the support that I get from those hearts that you touchIs precious. My husband, you've blessed me so much!I miss you soooo much!
