Soulful dreams

escaping thru the heart

knowing the time has come.



Memories still there

and will be forever;

life goes on as life abounds,

no worry about what future brings



There are places

where lonesome comes

yet, there is and will be forever

her face, her touch, her smell



These will not be lost

today, tomorrow or future time;

they’re yours to keep and remember,

for lonesome shall not always dwell.



My sincerest sympathy.
