Fare Thee Well
Ronald Wilson Reagan
1911-2004
A loving touch
to the flag-draped casket
A gentle caress once more,
She mourns a husband she so loved
She does not want
to let him go,
She pats the coffin
as if to say,
“There, there Ronnie,
I will be with you again
one day”.
Tenderness, devotion
in her heart
This fragile flower,
This First Lady
of the past–
Nancy Reagan.
