Touch no More

 Touch no More                                         
When I was young at age seventeen  
I met my future wife who was nearly sixteen  
 
When I was age twenty one wild and free
I ask my love if she would marry me
 
Not thinking how fast time passes by
We got older and older my wife and I
 
Thinking back I did not know
How much my love for my wife would grow
 
On January fifth two thousand and nine
I lost my wife I thought would always be mine
 
You find out how time flies
When someone you love dies
 
We were together fifty plus years
Now my eyes are filled with tears
 
In a poem written by my wife            
Something she had written early in life
 
She wrote, in her dreams our lips have met
You wait honey I will hook you yet  
 
When I sit and look at pictures of my wife
How pretty she was and how short was her life
 
It is over a year that my wife is gone
People say I must move on
 
My children are all now grown  
They have children of their own
 
I loved my wife so very much
And now I will no longer feel her touch
