(Verse 1) July sixteenth, 1958, a gift to me from fate, While the world watched [NASA launch Explorer 1] [1], a servant heart took its first beat. We met at Elim, you a senior, poised and bright, I was a freshman lost, finding my way in the light. The best decision, ever made, was standing by your side, My guiding star, my constant love, in you I still confide. (Chorus) Oh, Diane, my love, a lifetime we have known, A house of memories built, from seeds of kindness sown. From Elim days to "I do" in '80's summer air, Through every season, joy or storm, you’re the grace beyond compare. Time changes bodies, dear, but never your sweet soul, A beauty grown with glory, making my life whole. (Verse 2) Harry and Mary's legacy, from Canada's embrace, Their voices in your spirit, guiding your sweet pace. A heritage of love you hold, a strong and steady line, In every act of kindness, their loving light still shines. A wife, a mother to our four, with open heart and hand, Reading stories to our babies, before they even land. (Chorus) Oh, Diane, my love, a lifetime we have known, A house of memories built, from seeds of kindness sown. From Elim days to "I do" in '80's summer air, Through every season, joy or storm, you’re the grace beyond compare. Time changes bodies, dear, but never your sweet soul, A beauty grown with glory, making my life whole. (Bridge) Miss Diane to many kids, with books you'd share your time, A librarian's gentle call, a child's hopeful climb. A designer's eye, a decorator's touch so fine, Transforming simple spaces into something quite divine. But more than fabric, more than paint, your truest gift I see, A spiritual eye for character, setting judgment free. (Chorus) Oh, Diane, my love, a lifetime we have known, A house of memories built, from seeds of kindness sown. From Elim days to "I do" in '80's summer air, Through every season, joy or storm, you’re the grace beyond compare. Time changes bodies, dear, but never your sweet soul, A beauty grown with glory, making my life whole. (Outro) Grandkids on your lap today, the story still unfolds, A servant heart, a precious gift, more valuable than gold. My Diane, my life, my everything, always and forever true, I'm so blessed for this life I share with you. I'm so blessed for this life I share with you. [
