Everlasting
~~~
Happiness is an emotion
Of which we're not always aware
Until the love and devotion
Is suddenly no longer there
Then loneliness makes itself known
And sadness can fill up each day
But a glimmer of light is showing
As I watch young William at play
This child of my daughter's daughter
Who looks at me with David's eyes
His happy face full of laughter
The gene lives on and never dies
I'm sure that time will ease the pain
With William I will laugh again.
