I'm sitting here in my room, holding a photograph of the two of us when we were young in a garden; your arm around my shoulder, mine around your waist, and our little boy standing beside me inspecting a BB gun that is almost as tall as he Happy in Love... It's been a year today and the tears still flow since you left this world, not by choice we were so Happy in Love... you were my Lion, you gave me courage; you were my Bear, you gave me strength I lost you in pieces every day that you were ill. I lie in bed at night trying to catch a moment with you, Happy in Love... but a shadow of your scent on your pillow I miss you more and more every day half of me is missing with you gone, forever. 9/15/2019 - Poetry Contest: Writing Challenge 2, September 2019 - The Photograph Sponsored by: Wiishkobi Ode

Hi Eve, What a moving and touching poem you have penned. It is hard to go on living without someone that you loved dearly, but go on because we know it is what they would want to. Congratulations on your well deserved win. Have a great day- Alexis

What a deeply touching poem my friend. It's so hard to lose someone you love. To watch that strength and beauty that you loved so much slowly fade. My heart and prayers are with you my friend. God Bless, JB
