My Husband

MY HUSBAND

It was seven lonely months ago
 you said your last goodbye,
The angels took you in their arms,
 I was left alone to cry.

I met you oh so long ago
Way back in the distant past,
You grew to be my soul mate
Up until you breathed your last.

Our marriage lasted forty years
With many ups and downs,
But no matter what life threw at us,
Our love, it knew no bounds.

But the days are long and empty now
Without you by my side,
The memories are all that’s left
And the grief I cannot hide.

So I hope that you’re at peace now
No more suffering and pain,
And you’ll always be within my heart
Up until we meet again.

Beautiful. I could relate. My Deb died two years ago come November 22nd. We were married 35 years. Nothing is the same, and it will never be again, but I know she would have me press on. She and your wonderful husband are at peace now. Your poem is a lovely tribute. Thanks for allowing me to share with you.

I wonder why people never wish their spouse well on their new journey? Whether you believe your husband went to Heaven, Hell, Limbo, or whatever, do you wish he will find love and happiness there? So many poems are pining! Aloha! Rico
