All I Need


Five years ago he sat next to me,

Great high school friends is what I thought we would be.

Months later he became my best friend,

And hours on the phone with him I wanted to spend.

 

Four years ago, his girlfriend he asked me to be,

And of my heart I gave him the key.

The best man any women could ever find,

He is funny, smart, handsome, and kind.

 

One year ago he got on one knee,

And his wife he asked me to be.

After four months we became one,

but our journey together has just begun.

 

As a military couple we have learned to be apart,

But there is only one thing I hold so close to my heart.

With him by my side I wouldn't be frightened,

If I was stranded on an Island.
