Our
Last
Stroll
Brisk breezes chilled us, we picked up our pace
That night we strolled beneath the harvest moon
And how I wish right now we could embrace
Your warm arms sheltered me like a cocoon
Your deep voice singing “Strangers in the Night”
I laughed as we’d been friends some eighteen years
Our spirits danced; I would not show my fright
But worried soon nothing would stop my tears
For I knew then that God was calling you
Your cancer-ravaged body, oh so thin
Now I have lonely nights in which to rue
The loss of one who seemed to be my twin
On autumn nights when moonbeams light the stage
Your shadow dances still and quells my rage
