My Heart Still Remembers

My heart still remembers the days of our youth When searching for answers we stumbled on truth We were meant for each other as night into day And you swore to be true promising never to stray We looked to the future so young and so bold Thinking we knew how the years would unfold We stood before God with stars in our eyes Never thinking one day we’d say our goodbyes I see you standing there handsome and young Knowing our future had just begun We lived our lives as though we were one Sharing trouble and heartbreak with days in the sun Today we said our last goodbyes I whispered I love you as I closed your eyes Our journey is over...I'm alone and bereft The memory of you is all I have left But my heart overflows...my heart fills with joy Knowing our love even death can’t destroy Copyright© 2011 Beatrice Boyle (All rights reserved)

Thank you so much Nette...we had known each other from childhood, but never dated until after high school! He was my first and only love. Love, Bea

Is it true, it sounds like a most wonderful love imaginable. Reminds me of the poetry my friend Lin in England writes for her deceased husband. Better to have loved. . .

Yes Andrea...it's true! We were married for 40 years and he died a month later. Still seems like yesterday to me! Love, Bea
