Written for husband Derek on the death of his mother.
YOUR LOVING SMILE
Days of carefree childhood, secure in your care,
Knowing when my games were done I’d find you there
Waiting with loving smile.
And on into manhood, through joy and pain,
I knew that I’d find you still the same
Waiting with loving smile.
Memories to be treasured throughout all my days.
Remembering the laughter, your tender ways,
And your loving smile.
And at last when life’s work is o’er
The hope of life eternal, and once more
Your loving smile.
