RHONDDA CLINCH December 19, 1933 March 31, 2010 In Memory Of My Wife Oh! How I watched you in your final days, Thinking that somehow I could make it easier to go on your way. I kept watch oh so carefully so I didn't miss, That one last chance to give you a kiss. The day we first met I already knew, Someday I would be in love with you. I watched you come and watched you go, When you left my heart felt so bad, But, not long and back you came, My heart jumped for joy and I was glad. I told you one day I loved you , You looked a little shocked and scared, You thought it might be too much to dare, But you listened to your heart and fell for me too. We had our good days and our bad, But we never stayed mad. Fifty years we thought was long, But in a flash it was gone. My heart is empty now you passed on, But I will catch up in a flash, No one will mean as much you see, As there is only one of you and me. It was a mistake I have been told, Because they threw away the moulds. If you can see me, This is true - I love you . - Your loving husband Harris Clinch.
