Our American Gothic

This heartwarming precious photograph, shows Linda’s Father Jack;
With his older sister Ruthie, each sharper than a tack!
Both were pushing ninety, but could reel off a joke;
And tell one so very funny, that your pants you’d often soak!
.
The day we took this picture, at a family gathering;
There was no doubt who the Queen was, and we knew who was the King!
Most their generation gone then, but they still were going strong;
If you didn’t need a joke to hear, then they’d sing you a sweet song!
.
Sadly, they both are gone now, but send their love each day;
They left us with their legacy, which will never go away!
So thank you Jack and Ruthie, for your gifts on us bestowed;
Someday, we’ll have another party, in your Heavenly abode!
