Sharing Me

Though I display the occasional grin,
it belies this pain I'm in.
These peaks and valleys of a life I lead,
my heart so broken, shall forever bleed.

A life remembered in picture frames,
her face, my tears, I shed, no shame.

I recognize that you all care,
the words I pen so you may share,
such love, the loss, that changed my life,
the day I lost my precious Wife.
