I Remember When

I remember when, you said I love you; holding me to your heart ! I remember when, you said I do, I do; holding me to your heart ! I remember when, you talked about life; holding me to your heart ! I remember when, you were so happy; holding me to your heart ! I remember when, baby died and you wept; holding me to your heart ! I remember when, you died in my arms; and I held you to my heart ! I remember the love we shared my darling that death cannot erase; and I will remember you until my last breath in this earthly realm ! ________________________ March 10, 2021 Poetry/Verse/I Remember When Copyright Protected, ID 03-1335-446-10 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest , I remember sponsor, Malabika Ray Choudhury, Judged 03/17/2021 First Place

Milt, thank you so much for the congratulations, it was a hard poem to write as it is true, I write of my grief over and over in my poetry but no words can never take it away _Constance

You will never forget him or the baby, Constance. It's hard to press forward after such losses, but you must find some pleasure in writing about a love so strong. Beautifully penned, Constance! Best wishes in the contest. Hugs, carolyn
