The Anniversary Waltz

March 23, 1973 Thirty-two years ago, today, we said I do. Now you have been in heaven for almost two. As I do the anniversary waltz all by myself, I remember that you never loved anyone else. Together and then apart for six years. We loved and fought and shed some tears. Married other people and then each other again. Guess we were just meant to be together, my man. Now as your body lies in the cold, cold grave, Another’s loving arms, I do now crave. But I will never forget you and the love we shared. Our daughter is a precious reminder that you cared. Happy Anniversary, Sonny Someday, I'll join you beneath the double heart-shaped stone Written On March 23, 2005
