He knew this was a special day
Her beauty took his breath away
His throat went dry as he said hello
Fearing she would turn and go
She smiled back at him, so he took his chance
And through bated breath asked her to dance
She took his hand, they danced all night
They laughed and joked things just felt right.
Decades pass, now both retired
They still share wedded bliss
Emphasised each morning
With a gentle loving kiss
The dawn chorus awakens her
As distant church bells peel
She looks across and smiles at him
But his body is cold and still
Her heart now badly broken
She knew this day would come
She cannot face the future
Without her only one
She joined him shortly after
Once again together
The lives and love they shared
Will always last forever
I scattered both their ashes
Beneath the apple trees
And I’m sure I heard them laughing
Together dancing in the breeze.
