Ode To Joyce

Standing in the Chapel On a cold December morn A golden ring upon your hand Our vows of love were sworn I pledged my everlasting love From the depths within my heart Not knowing through the many years I'd be left and you'd depart Now I sit here in my chair Neath the rays of the new harvest moon I think of the years we were married And the end that came, all to soon I can still see the red of your lovely hair And the brown of your beautiful eyes The smiling young girl of my dreams You were so vibrant, so alive Your love for each daily existence Was your fervent prayer of life You amazed me with your passions, That little girl I called my wife I can see you in the morning sun And as you worked till end of day And I'd trade all of my tomorrows For just one, yesterday
