| A DYING LOVE |
| We vowed that we would love forever, A love vowed by two puppies in youth, But now two marriages, and four children between us, I vow my love’s just as strong for you. We danced and we frolicked and experimented with love, and shivered warm against the sea; Private memories, of a carefree love, memories that belong to just you and me. I love my wife with all of my being, She’s made my life a pure delight; But love never dies, and you need me now, so I stand here, at your bedside tonight. I’ve done well in choosing the women in my life, as your fading eyes can see; for as you lie here dying and I profess my love, my wife stands here in tears next to me. So good-bye sweet soul who taught me to love, and brought such burning passion to me; as you close your eyes for the very last time, let my love be the last thing you see. Eric L. Wattree |
