In Memoriam
BORG – VICTOR.
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence
As I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
I have you in my heart.
Love always, Joan.
