Three years, this very day
Since the parting of our ways.
I've done what I can do
to cherish the memory of You.
Read a prayer beside your tree.
Placed flowers at your grave
A candle in window lit.
A toast with wine is made.
And yet it's not enough.
I miss the comfort of your company.
Of hugs and kisses too.
I miss your presence in all I do.
I miss the arguments,
You always won,
and the making up again
It made life more fun.
To end each day contented.
was our Golden Rule,
Without you here, who is there,
to temper my mood?
There’s so much more I miss,
I could go on,
But I’ll leave it here.
My wittering done.
So, with memories held dear.
As each year wears on,
In my mind you will remain
Forever Young.
