50 years

By angelunderneath

He weeped
We weeped
For a love cut short
'Cause they'd have carried a 50 year torch
He weeped
We weeped
There was no shame
Only dishonor in forgetting her name
He cried
And I cried
When I heard the news
To celebrate was what he had in view
He cried
And I cried
To miss her so much
To miss her love and to miss her touch
So, I'll cry
And he'll cry
In anniversary dismay
Added to the date of her dying day




Happy 50th Anniversary to my grandparents
