It's not been easy recently,
Your parents deaths still hurt,
And then to top the whole thing off,
You also, then, lost "squirt".

But if it helps to ease the pain,
I really do believe,
That God has a special need for them,
Or they wouldn't think to leave.

So remember them by the good times,
The laughter, fun and love,
And know that you can be assured,
That they're with God Above.

Ten Years.... through strife and struggle too,
I knew I could always count on you.
We had our bouts, our doubts and fears,
But you hung in there through the years.

When life seemed more than I could bear,
You proved to me, how much you care.
Our sights weren't always eye to eye.
I made you mad, you made me cry.

But when I really needed you,
You proved each time, your love was true.
If I forget to tell you so,
I love you both, I hope you know.

Ten Years ...
We made it through those times,
And we're extremely happy,
For you're not only "Mom & Dad"
Now you're also "Nanny & Pappy".

Your grandchildren love you as much as I,
And I've finally grown to see,
Just what you meant when you wished that I'd
Have a child who was "just like me"

But all kidding aside, we want you to know,
That many more years is our wish,
So raise the champagne, here's a toast to you two,
And years of content wedded-bliss!
