ODE TO PHILLIP

Today we just sit together on the old couch

and talk of the good old days, and hold hands

We talk of what we will do later on in our lives

each knowing that we will neer do them,

winning the lottery, going to Alaska in our fifth wheel,

Taking all our children, grand children and great grands on a

pontoon boat ride on the Great St. John River,

 but we can dream, and pretend

When God gave you to me, my love, He  saved  the best

till last

How wonderful to see the love in your eyes just for me

and your smile, how beautiful

We both have had much sorrow, divorce, sickness, death and

many losses, but now we are content in our small snug home

just you and me and our old spioled black cat

We are old and feeble now but my eyes still light up

and my heart does a little  flip flop  each time you walk into the room

Oh God, how can I loose this precious person

I see him growing weaker every day from sickness,

He was such a strong man

but now he looks at me and he also knows

that our time is short

but I have loved you my darling, with a heart full

of love for so long

there is no measure for it

My fervent wish is that we might hold hold hands

and laugh at a memory

as we glide the milky way together

when we get there

for God didn't give you to me to loose  forever

but for now I hold you close in my heart and I shall never

 let you go

 

Oh my love, what will I ever do
