Forever

On a day of wedded bliss and joy,
The blackest night came crashing down.
A heart so full of love and tenderness,
Beat no more upon this earth.

In its wake was left a lake of tears,
And a man who lost his moorings.
Adrift upon the waters of despair,
Left to face the storms of life alone.

The years have steadily rolled along
But time for him is just a word
In his heart she lives forever.
Forever young, forever loving,
Forever loved…Lenore.


Dedicated to HGarvery Daniel Esquire
and his late wife Lenore

Barbara if you only knew what a wonderful thing you have done for this dear, sweet, loving man. I say from my heart, thank you, for I know you have lifted his spirits to the sky, in this thoughtful, caring gesture of a beautiful poetic dedication. I know of no one who has loved like him, who has suffered for so long, who has endured a loss so painful, that our hearts can feel his heart and his eternal love for his angel, Lenore. I thank you, for this man is very special to me. Love, Shar
