Brings him to life
As if he is here
Right next to his wife
So funny and quick
He jokes with his sons
With deep adoration
They parrot his puns
He's in his thirties
They're under ten
He sounds like Jack Benny
Yes, let's play it again
He's not mine to remember
I never met the man
I know him from the future
This far off distant land
I'm sure I would've liked him
With his gentle Jewish wit
I'd love his calm demeanor
And the faces that he lit
His sons will soon outlive him
Reach years he never did
But every time they hear his voice
They'll wish that they were kids
Today he had a birthday
If we have those when we're dead
My husband keeps his memory
In his heart and in his head
And though he never meant to
He forever changed my life
He made the man I love
And I became a wife
We have his youngest grandchild
For me my only one
His warmth flows to her daily
A life is never done
