JOHN A. LESTYK

With precious memories of my husband JOHN A. LESTYK, who was born into Eternal Life seven years ago today.

To my Mouse:

Seven years have come and gone,

I can't believe it's true.

It seems a lifetime has moved on,

Since I've been close to you.

But memories are sweet now,

They create a cozy spot,

Where I can go and spend an hour,

Wrapped in these treasured thoughts.

Our marriage was a gift so rare,

A little glimpse of Heaven.

In tribute to the love we shared,

I've learned to love again.

He is a man who's warm and kind,

He brings such joy to me,

And somewhere deep within my mind,

I know you would agree.

So on this day I thank you

For showing me the way,

To live and love and laugh and dance

To cherish each new day.

And you remain alive and well

Within my heart to stay.

For someone who is loved so much,

Can never pass away.

I'll love you forever.
