Rainy Day

She laid him in his resting place After twenty-one years of love She had to try to say goodbye To that she never felt worthy of She was with him on his death bed As he said with a single tear "Now don't you cry, because I die, For my love won't disappear" He said with a smile while holding her hand "Thank you, for being my bride" It was his last breath before his death Then her loving husband died Two weeks later, the doorbell rang A messenger stood outside He said, "How do you do?, this is for you" She took the letter and went inside When she opens up the envelope Tears start to fill her eyes And then a smile, that's been gone for a while She reads it as she cries "It was me my angel who felt unworthy, to even hold your hand" "And I'll never see, why you ever picked me, it's something I'll never understand" Every two weeks, for the next ten years A love letter was brought to her door 'Til one day his bride, had finally died And now they're together once more He wrote her letters every single day From the very first day that they met Then he put them away for a rainy day To make sure she'd never forget

What a wonderful way to bring comfort to one's love after death. I heard of a man who had roses sent to his wife every week. It was in his will. Very touching, Larry. Love, Carolyn
