Notes About The Poem

True love can truly carry on

 

Happy Birthday Ione

Happy Birthday Ione
By Franklin Price

Today is still your birthday
You would now be seven eight
Although you’re up in heaven
I’m still remembering this date

Each one we celebrated
When we were a man and wife
With love and understanding
As we traveled through our life

With the love you left me
Found another one to share 
Who also had been left behind
With a life alone and bare

I know that you would love her
And that she would love you too
We now share our lives together
Much the same as me and you

You will always be remembered
On this day for all my life
If not for the love we shared
I would not have another wife

Happy birthday Ione!!!
