Poem
As I kneel beside your bed...I just want you to know wherever I am, your husband is always thinking about you. The times we spent together has been the happiest in my life. You look so much like an angel as you lay there, but unlike in the movie Snow White, you're still sleeping after the kiss. Some say your eyes are deep blue like Crater Lake in Oregon, but your smile to me is more beautiful than the stars in the heavens on a clear moonless night. I lit a candle at La Cathédrale de St. Corentin today. I remember the first time we visited there, I stood back and watched you with your long shapely Norwegian legs. The wonderment, innocence, and the look on your face is unforgettable. You must know I would give anything for you to open your eyes again, to hold you in my arms with you looking at me with your smile. Instead, there are tears and the sheet beside your bed is starting to get damp. You must know I’m here kneeling by your side each and every day. At night they let me in to light a candle at La Cathédrale as I plead my case to take your place. In the morning I light another candle before I come to see you, my love, my life. What am I going to do, I was always your rock and your shoulder, but now I am broken, I am lost baby. I brush your hair to the side of your face, remembering that your touch used to make me tremble, your kiss would make my knees quiver. When I touch your hand I remember I was so sure of everything when we were hand and hand walking side by side. My faith, my devotion, and my passion is strong. I will come back here for a thousand years just to be by your side. For now, I need to leave again to light another candle, and tomorrow I will return to hold your hand and take care of you as long as I breathe. I love you baby. Edward J Ebbs - November 19, 2014 Written for a Contest, Make Love To Me In That Ancient Place
