After forty six years of marriage She pets him still Coos in his ear Telling him how handsome he is Telling everyone who will listen How much they love She said in England once She threw an iron at him That he put her across the bed And spanked her good That they had had some Hum-dinger fights But all the more fun making up She’s lost without him As he lies so close to death My heart cries as it watches these two Knowing what characters they are That I am like my Uncle in strange ways That I’ve always loved my spunky English Aunt With all her poodles and hummingbirds And English accent with an added southern twang Tomorrow I will go back Hold their hands And tell them I love them All the while praying That they get more time To love To fight To have fun making up So I sit here tonight Lifting this glass of wine in toast To them both and to life sweet life With all the passion and love till the end!
