When Frans and I met we had both lost our spouse,
And were getting again used to living alone in the house.

But it was a meeting meant to be,
We could not live without he or me

It was not what we had planned or looked for,
But the desire to be together was in the core.

And we wanted our prior spouses to be part,
In the union of our heart.

They had died expecting us some day to join them in their grave ,
We wanted to keep the promise we gave.

Gerard was entombed in a crypt close by,
So we informed our children we would move Lucy’s ashes also nearby.

We sold her grave and bought the crypt next to my husband,
And were allowed to drive her ashes over land

A serene service, we were glad she was here
Our mission was accomplished to have her also near

So when we die we will join our previous spouse
But until then we will be happy in the same house.

Not everyone in their life gets to experience a second love,
As new and pure as the flight of a white dove.

Our love was real, mature and new
But the past we did not need to undue.

Therefore we planned the four of us to be together,
Forever.

A promise I made to both my loving man,
“Some day we will be together again”

I am at ease to know now where I will be
Next to him and next to he.
