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.
