Poem
RUSTY They met somewhat late in life She no husband, he no wife Neither one that lost or lonely Neither one the one and only His friends said here’s your chance Get on out and join the dance There’s no telling what you’ll find When you open up your mind He said “Say a prayer for me” They said – go on seize the day See how happy you can be And his spirits soared away Their romance was slow at start But their love grew deep at heart Each one learning more to care They made such a perfect pair A backyard wedding came their way On some say that year’s hottest day But their love was plain to see They were somehow meant to be He said “Say a prayer for me” She knelt by his side to pray Whispered “Oh how I love you” And their spirits soared that day But then one day he said “Dear I feel weak - please hold me near I don’t know what it’s about But I know we’ll work this out” Oh the years were way too short Came the doctor’s last report “Go and stay close by his side, He is on his final ride” And then standing by his bed With no tears left to be shed The kids now gathered round Showing all the love he’d found They all said their last good byes As they wiped their crying eyes She said, “Dear what can I do To help you make it through?” He said “Say a prayer for me” She knelt by his side to pray Whispered “Oh how I love you” As his spirit slipped away
