tho
I thought of you with l♥ve today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and the days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have is memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart♥

THE BLESSING;
We met and we married a long time ago,
We worked for long hours, when wages were low,
No tv, no wireless, no baths - times were hard,
Just cold water taps, and a walk up the yard,
No holidays abroad, no posh carpets on floors,
But we had coal on the fire, and we didnt lock doors,
Our children arrived, no pill in those days,
And we brought them all up without any State Aid !!!
They were quite safe to go out in the dark,
No vallium, no drugs and no LSD,
We cured most of our ills with a nice cup of tea,
But if you were sick, you were treated at once,
No fill up a form and come back in six months,
No vandals, no muggings, there was nothing to rob,
And we were quite rich with a couple of bob,
People were happier in those far off days,
Kinder and Caring in so many ways,
Milkmen and paperboys used to whistle and sing,
A night at the pictures was having a fling,
We all have our share of struggle and strife,
And we just have to face it
That's the pattern of life,
But now, im alone i look back through the years,
I dont think of the hard times the trouble, the tears,
I remember the blessings - our home - our love
And that we shared them together
And i thank God above.
