For my recently departed wife of 52 years
The Loom of Life
By Franklin Price
01/23/2022
I can feel your presence near me
As I move from room to room
Further threads of life I'm weaving
On our still shared marriage loom
It's a lonely place without you
Though I see you all around
From the pictures hanging on the walls
To the plants within the ground
From the china in the cabinet
To the rugs upon the floor
Your touch exists here everywhere
You're still in my heart, and more
You're the one who made our house a home
A place of comfort in our life
Not even in a million years
Could I have found a better wife
From your window there in Heaven
Don't look down on me and cry
Memories of you make me happy
We'll be together by and by
Until then, I'll keep on weaving
For our family, friends and heirs
Weeping sometimes 'cause I miss you
I'm your husband who still cares
When I no longer work the loom
I'll meet you in the promised land
I'll love you 'til forever
The wedding band's still on my hand
