Last Goodbye

Pages of my life turn by Pictures in my mind survive Memories in my heart flow The chapters with you are closed Children all grown with children of their own Houses from small to big to small were home Living was filled with laughter and tears Days passed so quickly into years God Bless the day I first met you With one look I always knew You were the one I loved, you were made for me Now I am left with our precious memories Those days when bills went unpaid But somehow we always managed to save That old Chevy that had to last one more year Our first home our first child erased all our fears We had each other and we were strong Together we thrived, life was our song I stand by your grave with misty eyes I close our book with my last goodbye.

A heart touching peace that lay the stepping stones through deep grief as it takes it's course. I fully empathize, I lost my husband last year. It feels irrecoverable. Hold on dear poetess. Time does not take it away,,, but it eases over the long tearful days. Hugs to you <3
