In this Life
In this life that we think is long, before we know it our loved one is gone.
In this life we try to squeeze a lot in never realizing that there is an end.
You may be gone from me in the flesh but, in my heart you will always rest.
In this life you were everything to me. You helped me be the best I could be.
It’s hard to say goodbye but, in this life, we have to try because….
In this life that we think is long, before we know it our loved one is gone.
Your Loving Wife Mary. Rest in Heaven
