In a little house on a quiet street
Where love's rhythm and heartbeats meet
We've danced through years, hand in hand
Building a life nothing could withstand
From Gainesville's sunny, sandy shores
To Snead's cozy, welcoming doors
Our journey's been a map of dreams
Carved in time's gentle streams
Oh, the love we've known, the life we've led
From the first yes to the vows we said
Fifty-five years of laughter and tears
The best decision that calmed my fears
He stood brave in Vietnam's heat
A Marine, where courage and faith meet
Then as a chaplain in stormy sands
Guiding souls with gentle hands
Together we’ve watched our family grow
Children, grands, great-grands in tow
Each life a chapter in our tale
In love's embrace we shall prevail
Oh, the love we've known, the life we've led
From the first yes to the vows we said
Fifty-five years of laughter and tears
The best decision that calmed my fears
Collecting knives and pens, his art
Each piece a story, a world apart
A testament to his curious soul
A life of wonder, making him whole
And as the sun sets on our days
We look forward to more loving ways
Adventures waiting in the skies above
In the arms of my forever love
Oh, the love we've known, the life we've led
From the first yes to the vows we said
Fifty-five years of laughter and tears
The best decision that calmed my fears
So here's to you, my dearest Dan
The love of my life, my gentle man
In every moment, a blessing true
Together forever, just me and you
