(This was written as though the subject was my mother and the narrator, my dad. I think it works)
Many, many years ago
I met a orphaned girl
Who had been taken from her life
And placed in a sad, strange world
She was born with dark hair and freckles
A trait that had other children chuckling
With her fists, she stood her ground
When they called her ‘ugly duckling’
No she wasn’t considered beautiful
That is, until you’ve seen her heart
Tenderly wrapped in precious love
It set her wonderfully apart
Many, many years have passed
And she spent each one by my side
How blessed I have always been
That God would give her as my bride
Although her life knew many troubles
And from this world she’s now gone
Her beauty and thoughtfulness will remain
Because she lived life as a Swan
