Thinking Back

Thinking Back 

When we were young and before she was my wife
  I didn’t know she was going to be the love of my life
I miss those special times that we had
  I miss all the times so very bad 
I don’t know where I found a talent to write poems late in my life
  It must come from the woman I loved who was my wife 
Over the years we have had arguments and called each other names
  Like little kids playing silly games 
In a picture of my wife the sun shines in her hair and makes it glow
  To me she looks like my loving angel with a halo 
Thinking back on our first pregnancy
  That was hard for my wife and me
Some times she had morning sickness
  At times she had made a mess 
In that nine month period of time
  She had fallen for the third time 
My heart was divided in quarters
  My wife my son and my two daughters
I think my heart will become whole
  That day that my wife takes my soul

Fantastic piece, Michael! So sorry about your dear wife, R.I.P., and struggles. She'll not take your soul, Michael, even though you give it w/love. She's waiting for you in eternity with God!In the meantime, live, enjoy your children, life and if you have faith, hold on tight and don't let the enemy, life, or anything! Steal it! Peace, love, Audrey

Michael, I feel very sad for your pain over your wife's death. Sometimes it is really hard. My wife still grieves her dad now gone almost six years. But, that comes not only from the love she had for him, but he lived with us for about six months just before he died. I have read all your poems and I think you are writing very well. Charles
