c2. Letter in memoriam
My dearest Jeanne Theresa,
Know ye that I treasure yet
The fond memory of our past
And forever will the thought
Of your soul and mine together
Be held in my heart
And that this, my fondest wish,
Will always last.
I cannot even begin to measure
The value of the gift you gave me,
Though forever will the gift I treasure
Last and add to your so special memory.
It may have seemed that your influence
Caused me greater harm than good, but reckon thee
That those things you unwittingly taught me
Did indeed spark many good changes in my soul.
And though I thought the opposite once before,
Know ye further that I'll cherish your memory that much
more.
I don't know how in these few words to convey
How much I miss you and to the extent
I would like to thank you for the gift you gave me.
I just hope and pray that we will be together again one day,
Just one kiss away.
