I'm proud to say I've held on well
Whatever menial reason
I've watched with tired eyes
the passing of the changing seasons

And as I lie awake at night
my thoughts still turn to you
But poems and pretty words for this
leave me with "what to do?"

A crying angel strokes my head
Runs fingers through my hair
And as I feel tears running down
I know you're always there

"We'll be together soon my love"
With crinkled hands I share
A final hug and one last tug
on the hands of a woman named Claire.
Written some many months ago from my great-grandfather's perspective after the death of his wife.
