Happy Birthday Dave.

Goldfinch60



Happy Birthday Dave.

So many years have passed

Since the day of your birth.

And so many years have passed

Since that day you passed,

Only ten days before.

Before our twenty fifth anniversary.

You passed from this mortal coil

But even after over thirty years,

Thirty years since your passing

You are still with me,

And are waiting for me,

Sitting with Joyce,

Andy’s wife who passed

And is waiting for him.

Andy and I are together

But one day it will happen

And the four of us will be together

To share our lives in time,

In time everlasting.

Happy Birthday Dave.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Dave, Mary's husband died ten days before their 25th wedding anniversary, this was over thirty years ago. Mary and I still talk about Joyce and Dave with no issues at all, just the love we had for them and the love we have for each other.
