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.
