THE SCHOOLTEACHER
AND THE LIBRARIAN


Beneath the tombstone,
Carved and gray,
The loving pair
Together lay.
For fifty years
They were ne’er apart,
One died of cancer,
One - a broken heart.
The town has grieved
And shed its tears,
For this beloved couple
Of so many years.
They filled our lives
With wit and charm,
Not the typical
Librarian and school ‘marm’.
We know by now
They have come face to face
With Eternal Life
And Holy Grace.
God embraces them,
Knows well, their names.

“Welcome, my beloved sons,
Jeremy and James”.

Rhyme devine, loved the poem and story.  Happy New Year.

May a handshake, smile, kiss or a hug be the best present you give or receive this year.

Thank you. I appreciate all your comments.

My perspective of me is different,
As I look out from within,
Than that of others on the outside,
Trying to look in.     ©spirit
