Letter to Vernon Keith Northover from his dear wife:
Dear Vernon,
It seems wherever I go,
People come into my life or go out of it,
Touching me where I can feel,
Then leaving me only a MEMORY.
It’s like the Gossamer Fairy Tales of Children
and
As Easily Forgotten.
And I wasn’t even through knowing all of them!
How Do I know who I am seeing
for the last time?
How do you stop your life together?
and
Keep those around you that you’ve
Ever known?
and
How do you keep fairytales from
Losing their magic?
“So Vernon, you came and you
Brushed against the walls of my life and
Stayed long enough for us to know
and love Each Other even though we
Would have to part sometime”
and
We both knew
The longer you stayed….
The more I would want you back
when you were gone!
“But Even in My Memory you will Still Come Anyway….
Because
Fairy Tales are the happiest stories
we read
and
Great Books are made of little chapters”
Rest In Peace and Sweet Memories My Love
Your Lottie
