Finger Prints

As I sit in dreamy wonder,
watch the world outside my door,
my mind wanders to the time we spent
secretly yearning more
Your hands caressed my body
your soul caressed my heart
your mind made love to me in ways
I never thought would part
but the days grew stormy and dark clouds came
the lightening filled the skies
the thunder growled and boomed overhead
and teardrops filled my eyes
when the storms had passed and you were gone
I knew it for the best,
but your love embedded fingerprints
on this heart inside my chest.

Those fingerprints will last forever, Trudy, but the pain will subside. When I think of my late husband, I can now get beyond the pain of loss by concentrating on the happiness we had. Hope you are able to emerge from the "stormy and dark clouds" with gratitude that you had such a meaningful love. Excellent write -- brought back memories of the years I spent grieving. Now I look back and thank God he was part of my life. Thank you for sharing this heartfelt expression. Love, Carolyn
