"Labor of Love"

Once you asked me to prove my love for you was true
From then on I always tried to come through
With everything that these two hands can do
Even tired, my mind is always of you

My work is easier with you in my life
With my children around me and you as my wife
With my family to come home to at the end of the night
Every waking sunrise is beautiful and bright

You mean more to me than my own life
Second only to God as the most loved in my life
You are my best friend and your understanding holds no bound
All my work is made easier with you around

As this body and soul from work start to age
Along with my wisdom and knowledge that turns like a loose page
My works and deeds and with the help from above
All of everything I offer to you as part of my labor of love
