Going First.... Poem by SPC Kellaway

Remember me when you grow old
Recall my smile and nerve so bold
Don’t forget my love and passion
Nor my style and lack of fashion

Look at scenes of times gone by
Funny haircuts, me so shy
Times of innocence hope and joy
Love at first sight, girl meets boy

Live again our days together
Summer nights and stormy weather
Hours of picnics, meals and talking
Sunny beaches, seagulls squawking

Hear once more our children’s laughter
Tales of happy ever after
Tears of joy and tears of sorrow
Striving hard for their tomorrow

If I could have our time again
It would, of course, be just the same
Goodbye sweet love, my heart is breaking
Forget me not but keep on living

I will stay with you all your days
Helping you through in many ways
Until our paths cross one more time
Then you will be forever mine
