To My Wife Grandpa Murray's Voice

I wandered and travelled Nor knew where I'd gone . Life became a problem; T'was one long cruel song. My problems seem to multiply; They came from every side. I vowed to find the answer; by this I would abide. I looked into nature And tore apart my mind. Then put them on the table To see what I could find. I found that I'de been greedy and avaricious, too. Whenever projects of mine failed I put the blame on you. I found that I was lonely; I thought you didn't care. But what I really didn't know Was you were always there. You tried to fill the void That always was in my Life. you tried to ease the sorrow You've been a real good Wife. Yvette & Grandpa Murray From James Murray to , Janet Murray ..his beautiful wife. " In great respect of Grandfather Murray's poem he wrote for my Grandmother Murray "

Thank-you My sweet , beautiful friend . I am so happy I can share this with the World , as well finding a commonality with my Ancestors ~ it's a Honor for me in Honoring his writing , there is one more poem about California, it is hard for me to read , so if I can not put it down the way he did , it will not be put out . Love and Hugs , Yvette

I am amazed , I had no idea until my Aunt in California gave this to my sister whom e-mailed it to me , I had no idea My Great Grandfather had kissed the real Blarney Stone , and this is epic. They are long past on now , but I am "Grandpas Voice " there is one more I will be submitting in his name ~ This Site is Amazing in all aspects . THANK-YOU poetry Soup ~
