Broken

I was broken when our Lord took you away.
My life has changed cause you couldn't stay.

I'm not sure if I will be able to go on.
Life is so hard now that your gone.

You gave me your strength and made me strong.
I'll try to be happy but I don't know for how long.

My life without you will never be the same.
Remember one thing I'll always carry your name.

Your my first thought in the morning and my last
                    thought at night.
Our children and my memories are the reason my
                      mind stays right.
I'll always remember the love we had.
You'll stay in my life but my heart will always be sad.
                      Teresa Skyles  10/10/12

A really nice but sad tribute to someone special. I like simple poems. This one seems heartfelt and believable. Great job, Teresa.
