Our Last New Years’ Eve


The last evening we spent together
Dear I am unaware of this to be forever

Granted and so important to me
And to our cat “Bobbie”

To say “Happy New Years” with a kiss
Leaving early the room not to miss
Asking should I want to sleep go
Only if he and I could know

Destiny retiring to bed a trust
Then please set the alarm for us

New York to drop the ball there
Texas time eleven here

Our last day and supper were a delight
Recalling New Years Eve night

We shared a moment in time
I shall always be thankfully sublime
He shall have no pain no more tears to bear
Taken to be with his creator is my dear

Missing him I am sorrowful
Exclaim this to be truthful
Sadness becomes me at no effort
However must endeavor
Asking God’s mercies to honor his life daily
Joy rains over me mostly

Visions for me are he waits that we may
“Stroll over Heaven some fine day”
Just as the song suggestion!
Sung
By artist Alan Jackson

Thoughts of blessings received now are joy to me
Conversing my dearest talked of how He

His desire to have death come while in sleep
Granted this wish from God as I am gladly deep

A true blessed gift to me and my love
Faith knows our hearts this comes from above

Tommy and I had sixty plus years since 1948
Celebrated our anniversary June 12th of year 2008

At supper each day is visit time of aching
Of his love for me I am thinking
A loyal faithful husband a fine man
I will remember him as grand

To who had the pleasures to know him be?
All encourager lift of spirits to see
His most notable smiles of outgoingness
Tommy will always be missed

When I need support encouragement
His likeable smile a backup a mindset
Think of his attitude stand
True grit a hard working man
Lived his life daily plan all seven
Certain one day to be in Heaven
