I remember those days at the Magnolia Tree

Where we would just rest there, happily

We’d sit there in rain, or in snow, or in sleet

And our eyes would meet B

But age took its toll, and we’d stop resting there

As gray shades consumed our old, thin hair

Our sky grew dark, and we knew that goodbye

Was coming in quick time

We were with each other for our lifetime

She was my moon, and all was fine

Until she waned, and a shadow was cast

Her time had passed

The galaxy cried for what we had lost

She helped me live long, but what was the cost

She was my love, my soul and my life

And her loss has caused me grave strife

The others have gone, but I still remain,

My head and my heart in tremendous pain,

And right there I fell, onto my knees, 

At the roots of our Magnolia Tree

Oh death, I plead, take me as well

And let me leave this place I dwell

And Hark! My death has come to me,

At these old roots of the Magnolia Tree
