George D. Miller Poet Epitaph

Joyce

Joyce

I said I'd love you till I die
Now, I sit and wonder why?
It was so frivolous now it seems
It's like I'm living in a dream

The months have slowly passed away
Since I lost you that fateful day
Seems only loved ones care you're gone
I sit here alone and so forlorn

The salty tears I daily weep
Fall uselessly upon my feet
I hear just one word or a song
It brings the sadness all day long

I try so hard to cope
I think without you, there is No hope
You are always on my mind
You were gentle, so very kind

It's hard for me to see
A future without you, with me
Life isn't very fair
I miss the Chantilly in your hair

I see the clouds float in the sky
I have a feeling you're nearby
If I could only hold your hand
Life wouldn't be so very bland

Although you went to your home on high
In guilty thoughts I wonder why?
Had I done more the guilt persists
Perhaps then you would still exist

What more could I do, to keep you here?
I love you so very much my Dear
In quiet thoughts I wonder why
I wasn't ready to say good-bye

I think of sixty-three loving years
And of our doubts and many fears
As salty tear's flood from my eyes
I WASN'T READY TO SAY GOOD BYE!!!!!

Miller August 22, 2019 at 5:01 PM Jan, thank you so much for your response. It is very lonely and especially when you read or hear something like what you are saying, I could always say: Honey, guess what I read or what I heard but that outlet doesn't exist for me anymore. God bless you for your response. George.
