Of Time and Love-
Those gifts you gave-
Only memories may I save.
Although I have a goodly store
Don’t call me greedy for wanting more.


Those other gifts you made for me-
A home and loving family-
I hold them close about me now
that my love has outlived our vow.


With you, dear love, I saw the world
Not half bad for a Bronx bred girl
Yet I would yield the world and more
If Time, that thief, gave us encore. .
