In the gentle glow of sixty-nine, Where memories dance in time's embrace, A heart still whispers to the past, To a love that's left its trace. For you, my ex, my steadfast friend, A tapestry of laughter spun, Dependable and ever near, A shelter when the storms have come. In kitchens warm with spices sweet, Your hands crafted love in every meal, A family man, with heart so deep, To God's call, your soul will always kneel. Though life's paths have found us apart, My love for you remains aglow, For every wish I send your way, Is for the best, and this you'll know.
