Goodbye Ed And Marie

Their love has been So very strong Somehow someway Their love never went wrong Their hope for the future Was seen in their eyes The love they shared Was never a disguise They've been together For sixty-five years Their life full of laughter Sometimes a few tears All of the things in life That they have lived through The strength that they shared Could be matched by few An undying love Together they shared Always together Never looking sad They lived for each other That's not in doubt Together through life they learned What each other was all about They'd been my neighbors Since I was a small boy I know in my childhood years It was them I'd always annoy They always put up with me Never saying a stern word That's why I'm so sad With the news that I just heard I saw their son at their house today With tears in his eyes he said, they passed away I just stood there frozen in time Not even knowing what I could say I turned away from him Than, I headed for my home Trying to understand Why suddenly, I felt all alone I walked into my house Than, I sat in my chair Thinking and wondering to myself Did they even know I cared? 1-3-19/RjH
