Anthony Foster - Oh Ruby

Oh Ruby Ruby Ruby, your smile that we still see,
Which lights your face like a beacon with the passion of the free?
We know that as you get older when life is not so new,
Will we explore the richness of life’s experience with you, When joy and happiness are balanced, with life the pain and the tears,
Will we ease your pain, and share the joy, in your growing years,



Life is to grasp with passion, there is no other way,
We are only here for a moment, never tomorrow, just today,
So if you should ever read this, this poem is for you,
And all we will ever ask of you, is that to yourself be true.
We who has written this poem of love knowing you today,
That love and truth and freedom will always hold the sway.

Anthony Foster
