A birthday tribute for my husband, Ernest Baxter, who would have been 88 today.

Though your smile is gone forever,

And your hand I cannot touch

Still I have so many

memories

Of the one I loved so much.

Your memory is my

keepsake

With which I will never part

God has you in his keeping

I have you in my heart.

It is sad to walk the road alone,

Instead of side by side.

But to all there comes a moment

When the ways of life divide.

You gave me years of

happiness

Then came sorrow and tears,

But you left me beautiful memories,

I will treasure through the years.

I love and miss you.

Jean
