For five decades Love held you in its grip.
There never was a time you let it slip.
Death claimed Yvonne, it seemed your heart might break,
but what you felt for her, Death couldn’t take.
The Love you shared is hidden in your heart.
As long as you live on, it won’t depart.
Like candy hearts, the memories are sweet.
You’ll cherish them. They’ll make your life complete.
Although you can no longer see her face,
there’s not a single day you would erase,
and if you could you’d live them all once more
to do the same things which you did before.
Your friends may think that really makes no sense.
For troubles faced in life are too intense.
But love grows stronger as we deal with pain.
You are convinced, you’d do it all again.
Yet, one life-span is all we are allowed.
You can’t relive the promises you vowed.
So, you’ll endure until your time has passed,
assured by God, you'll see her face at last.
