Richard, A Poem for you and your wife.
I have fond memories of the past and the two of you gave them to me. For that I say thank you. God keeps you safe in his loving arms forever and ever.

The Plan
They say that there's a plan:
A plan for you and me.
They say its made in Heaven and Earths our destiny.

Gods Spirit arms hold you tight, chase away the dark of night as He leads you to the light.

Your Spirit heart now is free:
For me you are a memory.

Your Spirit eyes what must they see;
Spirit husband please wait for me.

There are no good byes, only til we meet again.
