The Ring
He looks down at his wrinkled fingers
Thumbs the gold band wrapped around it
His wedding ring
71 years ago the church bells rang
Then her father gave her hand to him
And they cherished many years of love
Now it was his turn
To return to the church
To give her away as the bride again
Back to her Father
The bells will ring again
A funeral and a wedding
Full circle, like a ring on a finger
A symbol of endless love
