A Smile On Her Face and a Gleam In Her Eye

As she looked at the handsome old man pass by
She was a widow and sadly missed
Her cuddle from her husband and a loving kiss
She never thought she would be alone
Without her husband to call her own
If she could meet a man as a friend
To accompany her to life's end
Someone who was widowed too
Who sometimes felt a little blue
Not a lover just a friend
A friendship both knew must end
When this chapter of their life was over
The friends would part from one and other
To return to their true lovers
She ascended into the sky
WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AND A GLEAM IN HER EYE
