Always

Always

Her life was never varied,

She had her same routine,

Up each day by six o’clock,

For a run that kept her lean.

She always had her cereal,

With protein, flax, and soy,

And dreamed about a puppy,

To bring her lots of joy.

She worked hard at the office,

With a zest unmatched by few,

Whatever needed doing,

She would pitch right in and do!

At lunch, she liked to wander,

In little shops and such,

Her kindnesses to all she met,

Made her loved so much.

Every other evening,

She would take the time,

To visit a home for elders,

And play a piano most sublime!

As she left one evening,

A handsome man came near,

To thank her for always bringing,

His elder mother so much cheer.

As the weeks turned into months,

This man would always stay,

And many times, he’d bring to her,

A lovely rose bouquet.

And so it came to pass in June,

In the lovely church in town,

A joyous marriage happened,

With everyone around.
