A Short Time To Grieve

A tear glistened from his cheek
As he said goodbye to his wife
No trouble will you see up there
You have left this world of strife

He had love her most all his life
They met back in grade school
Some classmates did tease him
But he was far from being a fool

In high school the plans were made
Shortly after the graduation they wed
Two people then became united as one
Smiles came as the vows were said

Raising a family was hard for them
She had to stay home with the kids
No working outside the home for her
It was something her husband forbids

These fifty two years passed by swiftly
Their devotion to God had them believe
Now she is waiting for him in Heaven
Leaving him only a short time to grieve
