If there should be a day when my ears no longer hear,
Know the most glorious sound I ever heard was your voice,
When you said for the first time, “You are my beloved.

If there should be a day when my eyes no longer see,
Know the most delightful vision my eyes ever beheld
Was your wonderful smile and the love for me that it emitted.

If there should be a day when my hands can no longer touch,
Know that your hand protectively caressing mine for the first time
Is the one touch that will live forever in my memory.

If there should be a day when my mouth can no longer taste,
Know that the most delicious thing I ever savored
Was the luscious taste of your soft and warm kiss.

If there should be a day when my nose can no longer smell,
Know that the scent that forever lingers in my mind
Is the cherished fragrance of your adored body.

If there should be a day when I can no longer speak,
Know the most important feeling I conveyed with speech
Was when I whispered, “You are my beloved.”
