To my dear Belle
It was a fair wind brought m,e from a foreign land
to meet you, to love you, to ask for your hand.
It was a kind fate that joined us together
to spend a lifetime facing foul or fair weather.
You gave us a wonderful child to raise and adore
we lived in peace and harmony-who could ask for more!
We grew old without any major pains of sorrows-
There was always the hope of pleasant to-morrows.
You then told me you wanted to be the first to leave
Your wish came true and left me to grieve.
But I am hanging on and have much to remember
Yet the fire we shared is now just a fading ember.
Life has lost its luster and the hours get long,
I am one of many who has to sing a lonely song.
There is nothing to rep[lace a lost love, gone forever now
yet the days pass and the years fleet somehow.
This is an elegy to lost life and lost pleasure
but, praise the Lord, a fond memory I can treasure!
