In loving memory of Ruth and William Beatty on their 65th Wedding Anniversary.

Love That Never DiesWhen I think of all the thingsI wasn’t given time to sayI wish I could go back in timeIf only for a day.I’d tell you how I loved the wayYour gentle eyes would smileWhen talking of the sweet young boy you’d met when just a child.He told his mother he’d just met the girl he’d make his wifeHe’d fallen hopelessly in love and remained so through his life.Though he’d have to wait for many years for his journey home to marryEven war couldn’t stop the love in those letters that you carried.Now that you’re gone I’ve read a few and each one brings me tearsTo feel such love and tenderness that still can span the years.Now I understand the smiles that lived within your eyesYou’d found what most just dream of...A love that never dies.Now when I think of all those things I never got to sayI wish I could go back in time if only for a day.If only just to see that smile within your eyes againAnd hear you talk about the love that started way back when.We love you Mom and DadThough it was hard to have you gone,Knowing you are together, some how makes it easier.Your love withstood so many ups and downs and now you’ve been rewarded with an eternity together.
