Time cannot be stopped. Love goes on forever.

Twenty-one Months By Franklin Price 10/18/2023 Twenty-one months have passed me by Since God took my loving wife For more than half a century We honored vows for life With all His love and wisdom God took her, with Him, up above Now she's looking down upon me And still sending me her love I feel her in my presence I still feel her warmth at night Underneath the covers After turning out the light I am slowly moving on But still living all alone I visit friends and family Through internet and telephone We come and go in person I'm so grateful for their grace The best of times are had with them When I look upon their face I long to have my Barbara back But I know that's not to be In time, may be another I'll just have to wait and see If that is not to happen I know I had the very best Who resides with God in heaven Where He holds her to His chest
