My Dearest
my love,
I have written you these last words
for you must make a journey up above
but you can take my heart . . .
I will be forevermore broken by your young death,
and recall holding you in my arms 'till your last earthly breath;
I whispered love you- and will whisper that often,
as this tear-stained love letter I slip into your eternal coffin.
I thought,
we would grow happy, old and gray
cannot recall a day we fought . . .
and will treasure each precious day,
I love you so much and will always carry you with me.
Now, sail my love on the soft waves of the sea,
forever, ever my true blue love and darling.
"oh, you visited me today in the song of a starling . . "
