Redecorate

(to my late husband, Sonny) Time to repaint and to clean I really need a change of scene So I can make this room mine Where we once spent our time Redecorating my room is a chore Because I have treasure galore I can’t part with this or with that I have to keep this little white cat And this red stuffed frog that can sing Of course I must keep my engagement ring You bought years after we were wed And the Harley cap you wore on your head My bubble fairy is a precious figurine I must put it where it can be seen Oh, and the water globe music box Along with these polished rocks The models of a ’64 Ford This replica of a sword Boxes for my jewelry and trinkets Books, music, and these blankets Memories flood into my mind With each treasure that I find I can’t part with things that you gave ‘Cause my heart says I really must save So Sonny, even though you are gone Your memory will still linger on With mementos of the love we knew A love that was forever true
