To My Darling

If I could will my heart to stop and breathe a final breath I'd sit beneath an old oak tree and trade my life for death The pain in life of losing you is more than I can bear how can a man be happy when his better half's not there Life's meaning's gone when I lost you no purpose can I find for you were but the reason i loved life and cherished time I cannot will my heart to stop I'm waiting for the sign from God to show His mercy to unite us one more time

I wrote this poem for my late wife, Charlene. I and most others who knew her referred to her as simply Char. She has always been and always will be the light and love of my life. I originally named this poem "Char", but changed the name only for the public who are so unfortunate to have never known her and her beauty.

It is beautifully written and a true testament of your love. I wish it also but for my son instead. Peace to you, brother.
