He Gave Her His Ring
Love unrequited
Love so brand new
They knew it instantly
When they came into view
Like a missing piece to a puzzle
And the magic it brings
God joined them together
When he gave her his ring
Two souls that needed
Only one heart
Where her sentence left off
His began to start
After sixty five years
Of wedded bliss
Only having an “US”
Not hers...not his
Walking through life together
Happily as one
But before it was over
Said and done
As she slowly walked
Up Heavens golden stairs
He whispers softly
I will meet you there
And eighty eight minutes
After his love passed that day
Her loyal soul mate
Faded away
This bittersweet moment
Life’s true tale
That love conquers all
Without fail
Their life was made full
By our Blessed King
It goes to show
What true love means
They said he died
From a broken heart
But I think it was a beginning
A divine new start
So rest in peace
And with the angels sing
This love story that started
When he gave her his ring
***This was inspired completely by the story of Marjorie and James Landis a couple who were married for 65 years...who died 88 minutes apart. May God Bless Them
