“Ode to Brenda”
Since I took Brenda for my wife
I’ve had an Angel in my life
Her love and kindness and total class
Make my problems always pass
We’ve had our highs and some lows
After 50 years she’s beautiful in buttons and bows
Before her I was lonely even in a crowd
Since meeting her I have been very proud
She asked me one day to come to church
Before that I always seem to be in a lurch
She tries to help everyone that she can
And then cooks a great meal with a frying pan
From a friend she got a recipe for “Trash”
As tasty as that is they could make some cash
Brenda is my strength, my pride and joy
Every time she gets near me my heart says “Oh Boy”
With age she has gotten better like fine wine
Always I will love her until the end of time
