Fold me lovingly
and place me close to your heart,
so that I can whisper our memories,
as your day grows dark.
Our life and existence
is recorded with sweet care,
And on every crisp page,
there is a memory to share.
From our first to the last
there is anguish and joy,
That the angels of darkness
can never destroy.
Your kindness and compassion
remain as my guide,
So strong are the memories,
they leave nowhere to hide.
Our perpetual love
is a bond that cannot be broken,
Not even when this becomes
a mere faded token.
