Good Night My Dear

Good night my dear. I’ll stay by your side. The doctors say there’s nothing more to do I’ll comfort you on this coaster ride. Two lives together as time bids us bide these precious moments together so few. Good night my dear. I’ll stay by your side. So much wasted time your eyes belied though past memories in mine, accrue. I’ll comfort you on this coaster ride. Our life bumpy but strong, I confide, our love has remained unfailingly true. Good night my dear. I’ll stay by your side. We still have time to love and laugh I lied. Your life over while mine follows through. I’ll comfort you on this coaster ride. As the time grew nearer I cried. The time had come to bid you adieu. Good night my dear. I’ll stay by your side. I’ll comfort you on this coaster ride.

Such a moving write, Linda. Loss, indeed, weighs on our hearts like anvils. I hope that you are comforted by memories of joy with your life's partner. Be well dear lady. Sincerest regards, Brian

Well written Villanelle, Linda. Exacting form, well done. Your topic is one many must face. In have long term relationships, one usually passes before the other. The one remaining must participate in the anguish of watching the other pass, a roller coaster ride was a good description of the experience. Thanks for sharing your contest entry, my friend. Good Luck! Have a blessed day! Bill

Heartfelt and emotive write, Linda. I felt the grief in these verses of goodbye. Well done in this difficult to execute form.

Thank you Vijay. I am honored by your visit and supportive comment. I am such a novice, I struggled with this form. Having read other villanelles, I feel I have not done it justice yet. So I am doubly encouraged by your comment. Linda
