The Passing
By Franklin Price
01/18/2025
The anniversary today
Is of the passing of my wife
It has been three long years ago
That she was taken from this life
Taken home, to God, in Heaven
Who brought her through the Golden Gate
Christ, His only Son, had saved her
That's why I celebrate this date
Two and fifty years together
Since we had said our wedding vows
Our lives were always blessed by Him
We never asked the whys or hows
She a Catholic, I a Baptist
As Christians, we were far apart
Belief that Christ had died for us
Was always in our life and heart
So when she passed three years ago
I cried then, and morn her still
I missed her then, and miss her now
And I know I always will
She is now in Heaven watching
Her spirit is still here with me
When my time on Earth is over
She will be waiting there to see
For those of you who read this
And either have a man or wife
I hope that you are also blessed
As I have been in my life
Happy Anniversary to me
