Gone

nobody to dream about
now that your gone
no happy thoughts to set
my dreams on
no waiting spirit
to give my love to
no future plans 
of what we would do
my hope was murdered
by fate and cause
my wishes denighed
by one simple clause
EVERYTHING i wanted
i wanted because of you
things i could'nt have
but wanted them for you
there went my striving
my will to live on
waking for another day
without you in my arms
my fairy tale ended
as shakepeare's tragities
everyday wondering
what will become of me
i write these words
with tears in my eyes
my deepest emotions
i give with pride
the truest love 
there will ever be
is a love that 
will mourn for thee

Our hearts ache with you John. I want to give you a big soup hug from all of us. We feel your pain and know you are going through a tough time. Mourning is necessary before you can move on but remember God is with you every step of the way. God Bless Phyl

You are still grieving for your love...I hope that you heal soon and the pain gets better..That you can remember her without the pain of the loss but with good memories of the things that enjoyed..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work about Spring Rain.I wanted to feel like it was Spring .I know winter is coming with the cold and the cold wet rains..We don't have much snow here but we did last year.Thanks for your faithfulness in commenting on my work..I appreciate you doing that.Sara

When we loose someone who means so much its always hard..yet losing someone to God is better than losing someone to the world John,though its hard not to hear her anymore,im sure you can still feel her,and knowing we never die but wake up in a better world brings comfort. .Yes John she's with you. .still is,take care,heartbreaking poem tmfs!

Hon, it's going to take a long time before you will feel up to making plans for the future again. All you can do now is realize that you will meet again in heaven and, until then, you have to take life one day at a time. Lean on your friends, John. You have many and we love you! Blessings, peace and love, Carolyn
