Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 GOLDEN I spotted once a nubile lass With matching eyes and hair Deep brown they were like rich farm soil And she laughed without a care Her laughter was a summer song That quickly won my heart I felt within my boyish soul That we should never part I strummed and picked my old guitar Much to her rapt attention But shy I was, and of my love My tied tongue would not mention I cursed myself in days to come As young boys often do What chance had I with such a beauty? My skills and charms were few We parted ways that night back then I felt my chance had flown I prayed we’d form a lasting love That few have ever known But so it was that in due time I seemed to win her heart And it came to pass that as I’d hoped We were destined not to part And thus began life’s journey Always hand in hand A deep, loving dedication That some can’t understand And through the years remaining Half a century and more Our love stayed sweet and shined like gold Till she passed through Heaven’s door A love that comes and stays and grows With tenderness and giving Is a rare precious thing indeed And makes a life worth living I often sit and wonder now In my declining years What that brown eyed beauty saw in me But I’m grateful through my tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I feel your pain, Bob, I lost mine two and a half years ago. Her memory will keep you company, same as mine does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
