HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
The beauty of a bird in flight
A sunny summer's day
The murmur of a quiet brook
A happy child at play
These precious things enjoyed by all
Who take the time to see
But one more valued than all these
Is but for you and me
This no one can ever share
Worth more than precious stone
Our love that's lasted thru the years
This love is ours alone
UNTITLED
(Written after the loss of his wife
of sixtytwo years)
I stood alone
Or so I thought
I called to you
You answered not
