Poem Title:
Poem
11 years of pushing back the tears 11 years of shutting myself away in my room Of drinking my pain away on this day I almost made my own tomb After I discovered the sad truth That life is unfair, and only You can save you Im glad Ive finally I've come to the place Where the fact that He died Does not ruin my whole week or day Now I decide to talk a walk by the lake And remember a Man I once knew Now I happily recall the short life that He lived And the people He affected deeply For we were so much alike And it was in His nature to give My lovely rescue walks me halfway down the road She purrs and chirps a sweet song As my thoughts before me are almost projected A very handsome man who had 32 years of life But raised his 2 brothers and helped many He was so loving, at 23 I almost felt like a wife I am truly happy that I chose him and He chose me Although He was poor, He was so generous with any who needed support and companionship For me, Forever running ahead to open the door And opened his heart always to Others I remember the letters addressed to me With His last name, as people thought we were married Arriving to the house we Once lived in together It's just a pleasant memory now But some things can't and won't last Forever Even if at the time we want them to Because life has other bigger plans for you He is something I could never and will never forget And once told me, in a dream, That Now He rests and looks on happily With other members of his family And that, of me, He is truly proud So I continue my peaceful walk by the lake Now that I feel in my heart He's at Peace It almost feels as though I'm walking On the clouds
