She Was My Everything

She was my everything. Wanted to give her a ring And ask her to be my mate No longer patient to wait. In the garden on a date, I bravely tempted fate. Got down on bended knee And put forth my plea. Promised to always be A faithful spouse to she. Answering me with a kiss She granted my fondest wish. Excited about our wedded bliss We didn’t hear the snake’s hiss. Before either of us could move It struck, delivering death, ever so smooth. As she closed her eyes, so blue, My heart already knew. She would never leave this place And I gently kissed her sweet face. As the pastor quietly said grace Memories surfaced I couldn’t erase. Happiness was my only goal Oh, how I miss her gentle soul. Now life moves ever so slow And I have nowhere to go. I no longer hear the angels sing. I’ve lost my everything.

A SAD ONE THAT STIRS THE PAINS OF A LOVE LOST. You brought the reader into this great poem and reminded us that being human means death is an ever present reality we all must some day face. A7
