In her eyes, a hero
The man in a uniform
A tear as she drinks her tea
Three years and she still morns
A beauty, a soldier
Memories alive in pictures, now
Grown children her memoir
A sixty year marriage vow
Over and over
She tells the story
About the two lovers
In their days of glory
A locket worn daily
One piece of life lived
Memories held so dear
So special, the gift God gives
He was too young to go
She sits day by day
Waiting to reunite
Her TV passing time that way
A picture to remember
His face she will see then
With tenderness and laughter
Together they will be again
