The Sunday Drive
When Sunday came they went for a drive
For almost thirty years
Til death came calling and stole her away
Leaving her husband in tears
Then Sunday came and went each week
But he had no place to drive
So he took her urn and buckled it in
Just like when she was alive
He'd drive throughout the countryside
Talking to the one he'd lost
The bridges were such a special place
Stopping on all he crossed
He'd smile and point to all the deer
That he saw along the way
Sunday was their time to stop and reflect
And were thankful for this day
For ten more years they'd take this drive
Til he drew his final breath
And now they drive those streets of gold
When he met his wife in death
