~Dedicated to Ronnie~
The love began in high school,
Him following her around.
She said no and walked away,
But looked back at him.
He asked a few more times,
And finally she said yes.
They dated, were engaged,
And soon they joined in marriage.
Then war came calling
And he went away,
Acting as a soldier,
For many years to come.
Returning home to his love,
They welcomed children,
And grandchildren,
Into their lives over the years.
And in old age,
They lived together,
Happy until the news
Of sickness in his blood.
His body failed,
And she stood by,
Supportive by his side.
And when he said
To let him go
She nodded and surrendered
His soul and mind to God.
The funeral came,
On a rainy day.
People came and went again,
Touched by the kindness,
Remembering the love,
That even now,
Is obvious between her and him.
