Surprises

Life is a journey, twists and turns on the way,

With surprises that greet us, come what may.

When you're feeling down, like all hope is gone,

It's the memories we cherish that help us carry on.

But then you came along, like sunshine in the rain,

Catherine, oh Catherine, you eased all my pain.

Catherine, you walked into the bar room,

Your smile could light a thousand hearts,

I saw the beauty from within you,

Right from the start, right from the start.

I was hurting, feeling empty, needing love to begin,

We chose each other, a new journey to spin.

Memories may linger, but new ones can bloom,

Our life can start over, dispelling the gloom.

Catherine, you make that so easy to see,

Life's just a journey, you and I, meant to be.

We've suffered through loss, we've walked through the pain,

But with love as our anchor, we'll rise up again.

You were sent to find me, fill my life with joy,

On this journey of surprises, I’m your loving boy.

I’ll make you happy, if you let me in,

Together we'll conquer, let the new life begin.

Catherine, you walked into the bar room,

Your smile could light a thousand hearts,

I saw the beauty from within you,

Right from the start, right from the start.

I was hurting, feeling empty, needing love to begin,

We chose each other, a new journey to spin.

When the shadows linger and you’re feeling low,

I’ll be your strength, I’ll help you grow.

We’ll make new memories, hand in hand,

Together we’ll build on this love so grand.

I give you my heart, let’s leave the past behind,

And cherish each moment, with love intertwined.

Life is just a journey and ours has just begun,

With you by my side, my love, we’ll overcome.

Catherine, darling, in my heart you’ll always stay,

On this journey of surprises, together, come what may.
