Our winters never it snowed

Autumn's leafs never yellowed

No longer days overshadowed

In merriment, we often wallowed



Temperament's high strong now mellowed

Sweet wine of life once flowed

Fruits ripened we once sowed

Together for us time slowed



Streets walked seldom narrowed

Gone were the days thought sorrowed

Joy and laughter once bestowed

Our time was simply borrowed



Things one could never forebode

High was the price of my heavy load

Journeyed I down lonesome rocky road

Such a debt I once owed



Bitter juice of life once swallowed

On a shelf my heart I stowed

To the moonlight, I once followed

Tender the soil I once harrowed



Felt as if my heart could explode

In ferny valleys, our voice echoed

Our features together once glowed

For the joy of life, we once showed



Now the roster mornings crowed

The beautiful bride now widowed

Operatic voice once bellowed

Mystical passages once harrowed



No long can decipher the complex code

New tunes turn to a somber mode

Humble once my loving abode

Through the tulips, we once tiptoed



As I write you my fond ode

As precious metals starts to corrode

As Latin dancers no longer tango

My love time can never erode
