Soul Mates To Albert

I drove down our lane today, Remembering our past-- I thought of your touch, Sweetheart, And what you would probably say. We shared our first kiss here, my dear- And looked long into each other's eyes, We knew we were older, my Darling- And yet, we had nothing to fear. For sixteen years we loved each other And vowed we would never part, But Death came to you first, Sweetheart, Now, over me, your spirit hovers. I didn't know how deep our love went, But nine long years has not dimmed its glow, You are my soul-mate, Darling-- To me, you were heaven sent. Soul-mates are forever, Sweetheart, And forever I will love you--- I know you will meet me at Heaven's gate Safe at last from Earth's painful darts.
