For My Late Husband



Along the coolness of the oaks we walked.
Honeymooners dreams, was our secret talk!
Eucalyptus trees smiled, scenting our way.
Twas “our” San Francisco first come what may.

I never thought, you would die so very young.
But you taught me independence and deep love.
That gift you gave me, to not follow nor a groupie be.
Was the biggest gift ever, till we conjoin in eternity .

Your wisdom, laughter, love so sorely missed.
But a wife never forgets the magic of your kiss.
Nor the great Bohemian days when we married.
When death comes,to you, I shall run and not tarry!

All my love,
Panagiota

Hi there, Darlene! So glad you came by today thank you! And yes he would be glad to say not only this phone but all the other problems I’ve written. He was the one who wanted to be a writer. But God took him home first never had a chance so when I ride I guess I’d ride for him as well hugs. Panagiota XXX

Hi Belle, was thinking of you today as my brakes went out on the rollator! Daughter came by and did what was needed. I like this poem! It’s like a candle one lights in church in reverence and deep acknowledgement of what one has contributed to our lives ..by the way, Hope Alan is doing better. Thank you for taking time to read this. Panagiota. Xxx ***A good week ahead to you both.***

Always! Thank you for understanding me. I would not be writing today, had it not been for him.nor be the free spirit that I am. He was a man who knew how to laugh. Especially at the rules of our society, and how it attempts to clip your wings, Panagiota XXX
