The one for you



The first five are for you
Touch and go, feel us grow
Help raise my kids with you.

The next two are to you
Chance to glow, fry the beef
Serve it grilled to you.

Still the rest will be with you
Cask the wine, chill it right
Toast a glass to you.

So I can’t do without you
Starch the sheets, kiss the cheeks
Moist the lips for you.

Eleven years I've known you
Sterling gait, stitch in time
That's why am with you.
