A Year and Five

A Year and Five
(with love for Barbara)
By Franklin Price

A year and five long months ago
You left this mortal life
To be with God in Heaven
The God who let you be my wife

In all His love and wisdom
He always knew that we should be
The husband and the wife we are
Throughout all eternity

Death did not end the memories
As you look down from above
Death did not divorce us
We still have eternal love

We will meet again in Heaven
And will walk the streets of gold
Be together for eternity
My love for you does not grow old

Franklin, this is so poignant. Your heartfelt words drip with feelings of deep loss but eternal love too. Great work. Cheers - Gary
