Poem
Judy’s Song It wasn’t even twenty years before our dream-world died, But life ain’t easy in this World, it’s full of grief and sighs. The moment that we said: “I do”, our lives entwined as one, We kissed away our past life’s loss to celebrate this one. We both were married once before, we knew the rules of love. We promised each, that we would last, ‘til death would cause the part. We wed in California, on a bright and sunny day, We traveled East to Cape Cod Mass., and settled there to stay, ‘Twas there we made our brand new life, a life of great rewards, Rewards for each, my Judith and I, times every day by nine. I’ll not forget her gracious smile, her funny-devilish eyes; And how she put up with my deeds, my antics and my guile. We laughed a lot and had more fun than what the law allowed, We danced and played and even made a snowman in the drive. But love has dips and curves and stuff, that sometimes makes a mess, But if we started arguing, we both would get undressed! And just to make it binding, we both promised this one thing, To look back on our memories, say “I do” and try again. And in the spring we set the flowers to grow as we would grow, The Apple tree, the Lilacs and I can’t forget the Rose. The rains and sunshine did their best, to nurture them to thrive, But Nature has her way with us, to say what lives or dies. The years passed slowly by at first, but then they seemed to speed, At first we were an age of youth, the youth then turned to gray. Throughout those years we found a lot of comfort, peace and soul, “Til one sad day in April, when my loved one passed away. I placed her in the Vineyard Sound, so I could watch each day, To see her bridge a swollen tide, or tread the mourning waves. In retrospect, it was our fate, that we would leave this world, But why on Earth was it not me instead of lovely her.
