Eternal Breath

I think about you, every single day,
Since from me, you were taken away,
Your absence has left my world cold,
Now I am alone, with no hand to hold.

I wish that I could bring you home,
So that your soul, shall need not roam,
I hope that you were given white wings,
To fly amongst, where the angel sings.

Within my heart, your eternal breath,
Shall now linger on, even after death,
My love for you shall never cease,
So, may you always rest in peace.

Some sad poems can express a haunting memories, one that won't allow the writer to be set free, but that's ok because poetry in my mind is emotions expressed great work here i enjoyed your work. cheri and thank you for your comments

I have heard it said that true poetry is written from the heart and the soul, and with feeling and emotion. And, I believe that, as well. Thank you so much, Cheri!
