Your Greatest Love

He taught me how to love a woman
as he has loved you all these years
Seven decades of devotion, near unconditional love and tenderness
He worships you, admires you, and now finally cannot live without you

He approaches the end of his days 

feeble, nearly blind, deaf, and unable to rise

One thing still sure
His love for you strong, unwavering, constant through it all

So much of his care now up to you

try to not regard him a burden, a yoke

Ruining these last years
Honor him, honor all these years, honor this, your greatest love

Help him to his last days with tenderness, with grace
Do not struggle against it 

Embrace it

For soon a lifetime of love will finally slip away, forever

Rock him gently, soft kisses, patience, kindness
allow all the years of love, to flow, back to him
Through you 

It can only set you both, finally, free
