There Are Days When
There are days when even sadness weeps for me,
it feels the loss I’ve endured through the years.
All the heartbroken memories and tragedy,
yet I try not to be enveloped in my tears and fears.
Most days I drown in my affection’s reverie,
embracing my beautiful life to the fullest degree.
There are mornings when I wake up with a smile,
I remember dreaming about my dog who passed.
His curly tail and smushy face was just his Pug style,
I laugh hoping to make those fond memories last.
My daughter’s big chestnut eyes make life worthwhile,
and thinking of the joy of walking down the aisle.
There are nights when I lie awake and thank the Lord
for all He has bestowed, and I am lost in gratitude.
I think about all the material things I can’t afford,
yet am rich in love and live a life of pulchritude.
I know sometimes I have doubts, yet live in accord,
I feel at ease with my soul with my prayers outpoured.
I have spent so much time wondering if I can do more
for my dear loved ones as they struggle with life.
I can only pray my husband knows how much I adore
being his most important loyal friend and loving wife.
Sure, there are days when my heart and soul feel sore,
but these days lately are even better than before.
