Happy heavenly anniversary!

I saw the clips of number forty-four.

I wish I could see them and still feel joy,

but I have the lost the smile I once wore.

Your laugh graces the ears symphonically.

Your smile could challenge and best the sun.

All you are cannot be properly penned,

no matter all the tales my lips have spun.

I know you had to run to catch your train.

You would never dare leave your love behind.

I rest peacefully knowing she is well

with you, both resting in peace in my mind.
