The Poet’s Corner

For Gladys and Fred

The old shop was a haven

For all of us who knew them

He fixed our watches and clocks

She tended the jewelry case

They both raised our spirits

With ready smiles and laughter

We can only be thankful

That we shared in those good years

Those happiest times for them

And that they passed quietly

Beyond the necessity

To live through today’s sorrow

We will do their mourning

That they may rest in peace
