I look at the photos

and glance away

She'd be eighty-seven

on this day

Sixty-nine years

from the day we met

Sixty-nine years

I'll never forget

Of course there are moments

where the details fade

But more than enough

clearly replayed

Smiles and tears

as each memory survives

Milestone moments

throughout our lives

I put the pictures back

Where they're always on view

so I'll always remember

the life that was you

Happy Birthday, Nat
