If I Could

A short funeral poem for a husband from a wife, celebrating happy memories and paying tribute to years of marriage.

If I could travel back in time
I’d travel to your side
Back to the day I said ‘I do’
And you made me your bride
I’d make my promises again
And wear the same gold ring
Then share another life with you
And wouldn’t change a thing
