Spyer and Windsor Often stayed late. Out on the dance floor enjoying their date. Their love was their secret concealed for some years From nosy co-workers and curious ears. No ring could she give To her love of all time, Same *** love was condemned in Societies mind. For richer, for poorer, for better or worse. Four decades they waited, their vows to say first. Then Death intervened and put them apart. Windsor barely survived What they call βBroken Heartβ Now her day in court beckons The Judgment day nears. Were their vows a true marriage, or not what it appears? Will she owe Estate Tax- Some three hundred grand- Because she wed a woman Instead of a man?
