I sit here alone, with my head held back
Thinking about days, to which I've lost track
The times we had, with friends and everyone
Life has been good and yet more to come
The days have passed and I still feel the same
As I take a sip of tea and whisper her name
REMEMBERING
We married in the autumn, before the fall of the dew
Our eyes met once and I whispered I Love You-
Together each day, as we walk hand in hand
Holding us together, is a little wedding band
The power of that ring, encased in pure gold
Holds many memories, that below will unfold
REMEMBERING
Our first child came, in the year of fifty one
A gift from God with many more to come
Holding us together, through thick and thin
Our lives the best, that has ever been
REMEMBERING
Our second came, in the spring of fifty four
Who could ask, for anything more
A bundle of joy, I can remember the day
The date I remember, was the third day of May
Remembering
In the year of fifty six on a great day in December
A date which, We will always remember
Our only boy, who one day came
And to one day grow and carry our name
REMEMBERING
The fourth, a girl, like a gift of fine wine
With big brown eyes, in the year of sixty nine
Came to us, on a day rimmed with gold
Loved and cherished, by all I am told
REMEMBERING
In the winter of our lives, as we sit here at home
Our children gone but we're not alone
Life has been good and we thank God above
For letting us live, amidst all this love
Someday, we'll leave this world with a glow
For a different one somewhere, we just know
REMEMBERING
