In a song by “The Burned” he sings a tune of time,

“Time is overwhelming me” he sings in rhyme,

Under clouds beneath blue skies I chase memories,

The memories of you begin beyond warring seas,

I remember long ago I’d see you in visions and dreams,

Long ago you were my waking angel it always seems,

Long ago I said that I belong to you anywhere you go,

Wherever you may go I’ll be the man that loves you so,

When you were but fifteen I again gave my heart to you,

I said please take my heart wherever you’re going to,

My heart is filled with forever love that is never ending,

Take this image of my heart for the love I’ve been sending,

Said love is never ending dear love, I give you every beat,

Dear love my love is never ending, take my church seat,

Remember little angel that I protect you with my life,

For a lifetime I’ll be your guardian once you are my wife,

No matter where you go take my love for you wherever you are,

Carry everlasting love near your heart to dream beneath a star,

If I’ve passed on in a warring foreign land I’ll will myself there,

To care for you and watch over you, I’ll protect you anywhere,

But I survived great turmoil to return home to just you,

You knew and I knew too, what it was now time to do,

When we first saw each other that May Day in seventy,

It was in our eyes to marry without words needing to be,

I’ve loved you fifty six years or more without doubt within,

I never doubted loving you but with certainty love did begin,

My heart will belong to you beyond our time and even more,

The blood within against vessel walls increases love’s score,

I will remain yours and seek sixty years more married to you,

There’s no greater honor than to be your husband in all I do,

At night I’ll pull you close to make sweet love as each night,

I’ll kiss your lips and whisper words of love as I hold you tight.

The End.

For Patti, by Pat. I love you sweet angel!
