Letter To a "gentle Man"

He was quiet, and so very shy
His Lovely Poetry caught my eye

I felt his Tender Heart flutter for me
I saw his Loving Heart ; Pen POETRY

Beautiful POETRY, and  I  “The wonder of his words”
My Heart entwines, with his Everlasting LOVE : Endures

Throughout the Eons of Forever I have watched his sadness
My Beloved, Your Eternal Love Always brings my Heart Gladness

You sit beside me, at the Never ending banqueting  tables of Heaven
Alas : do not waste Your Love, waiting to be with me in Eden’s Garden

I see in the window of Your Heart, the mirror of Your Soul
The image in Your eyes, You and Barbara Jean, Picnic on a California Knoll

The fond memories of Your breath, caressing my breast,  are now Hers
My Spirit smiles at Your happiness Love Her as You do me
My Heart elated to see You Love again , long lost Emotions stir
Barbara Jean , Take care of and Love  this “Gentle Man” for all Eternity
Bring Joy to his Life again , and to me satisfaction that He is LOVED again

Inspired by Nathan Dilts’ Contest “ The Opposite Sex”

Beautiful, warm poem, HGarvey Daniel. Very moving to read. We do have to find a way to move on after we lose a loved one and be able to love again. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
