I look at her photo and her smile,
That smile that was always there.
Her eyes gleaming with delight,
Always on her face looking at me.
Her silver hair curled in beauty,
Curled around her laughing face,
Always happy, always cheerful.
In love with life,
In love with me,
As I am with her.
The memories of being with her
Never changing,
That love so strong,
And always will be.
She is away from me now,
Dementia took her,
Took her into her own world,
But I have that picture
Looking at me,
Showing me the woman she was
And each night I look at her.
My love is so strong
But she is no longer there,
I want her back
But fate has taken her.
My love will never weaken
And I know that one day,
One day we will be together again,
Together where we will never part
As our love carries us to eternity
With her smile still there,
As it is in the photograph,
That shows me her beauty
Shows me her happiness,
Shows me her love,
Her love for me.

Erm, I have a pic of the Mona Lisa, but it won't get me far by gazing at it! lol.
Thank You Orchi. Can you see the smile on Moaner.
