They say I am about to leave you in the midst of all despair

But, they said that a few months ago when I lost my hair.

Don't think about the times ahead: yet to come

but remember the last time we wanted some

time together.

We walked along the beach when our daughter left for college

and bought that old car that had way to much mileage.

But, she was on her own and wanted to be grown up

That is when we bought that yellow pup

that healed our broken hearts.

Remember the fights and all the tears

they cannot make up for all the years

And then came some gruesome fears.

Soon you will be alone that is a fact

But please don't remember me like that.

I am still here.
