Bill's Slippers
I miss him dearly
Sweet Bill of mine
The love of my life
A one of a kind
Had his share
Of quirks I adored
Leaving his slippers
By the front door
Gone for a while
But only last week
Sadly put his slippers
Away with a weep
We all have habits
Some strange some not
Remembering Bill's
Forever in thought
Tugging at hearts strings
His love's still alive
The memory of sweet Bill
Will forever survive
Had his share
Of quirks I adored
Leaving his slippers
By the front door
