Remembering

If you should leave before I do (and I pray that won't be the case), precious things I'll recall about you. The words you spoke were sweet, gentle and kind. I hold them with love on my mind. Your voice was warm and silky soft, it soothed every pain I knew and healed me through and through. Your eyes were a prize of brillant blue. I melted when they focused on me and marveled how they came to be. Your hair was fragrant, rich, and fine. How often I buried my face therein and kissed your lips, cheek, and chin. I remember oh so much more, how heads turned at the sight of you and how I relished that envying view. But above all else, my precious love I will forever recall and cherish your goodness born above and practiced throughout our marriage. (Written in 2015.)
