My Dear First Wife Linda

This is a message for my dear wife Linda You left me much too early Wanted to grow old together with you But it wasn't to be sweet girlie Snatched from me in the prime of our lives Fairness didn't come into play Only a few years left till our golden years Suddenly my life's in disarray Life has a way of coming up with surprises Some are great, some hard to bear Always held hope we'd always pull through But life doesn't always play fair So now I'm forced to roll with the punches Dear Cathie has helped me through Might not have made it, through this very sad time If it wasn't for sweet loveable you © Jack Ellison 2015
