Thank You, Sweetheart

It's a beautiful love story.

For Cali

I’m thankful that you gave me your heart.

You were there for me when I needed a wife.

Cali, I’m filled with gratitude for your love.

You’ll always be the woman in my thoughts.

And I want to say, thank you, sweetheart.

I’m thankful that you loved me sincerely.

Darling, you were never discontented or sad.

You didn’t complain when things got bad.

I’ve spent many hours thinking about the past.

And I wish we could go back to the start.

I’m thankful that you brought joy into my life.

You took the time to listen to my problems.

And you understood the sadness in my eyes.

Cali, I’d repay you for your kindness if I could,

But I can only say, thank you, sweetheart.
