When we lose the love of our life, we must still carry on to honor and carry on their memory.

My life is in a quandary.
There is unrequited love
My dear wife, my love in life
Is watching from above
I mourn her and I miss her
She was my love, she was my mate
The bed beside me's empty
I ponder, what's to be my fate
The time has flown and yet has not
I long to hold her tight
Have the joy I had in loving her
To be alone just isn't right
My thoughts and dreams are filled with her
She was the perfect one for me
Still with me in my heart and mind
I still have her spiritually
Lately, thoughts are creeping in
My God, I pray it's no disgrace
Of others I may love also
Although I never can replace
Are these thoughts of mine unfaithful?
Is there cheating on my brain?
Am I supposed to live alone,
Or somehow get back on the train.
There are many others
Who are going through this strife
Our love in life is gone
And we're by ourselves in life
Friends and family are there for us
But it never is the same
As to have our lifetime partners
Who will always share our name
There are many who will read this
Who are in a place like me
We should go where God is guiding
We should follow him and see
