John and Martha

(to the tune of Amazing Grace)
Their love was young
In their Golden Years,
They touched each other’s soul.
They laughed, they cried,
They smooched, they sighed,
Together, they prayed and praised.

They shared their wisdom
Wednesday nights,
Their lessons much more than words.
Their faith shone bright,
And lit the path
They wanted us to know.

The last few months
They were kept apart,
By earthly time and space.
Their love was not
Just of this earth,
And now they have gone home.

We will shed tears.
We will miss them.
But we are all so blessed,
They crossed our path,
They shared their love,
We are forever changed.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
Was blind but now I see.
