Waiting

i waited for your love to come
a chosen life the only one

you came and stayed a little while
and on my face you put a smile

i waited for loves question asked
a challenge met without a task

you waited patiently for me
of course i answered yes with glee

we married on that special day
i waited for the chance to say

oh yes i take you for my own
we waited for our happy home

so many years have come and gone
and now my love you have moved on

i sit here waiting once again
with all my heart my love i send...

Beautiful poem. I haven't read any of your work for a while. But I love this poem. It's like a memorial to a love who has passed on to the other side. So well written. I see why I put you on my favorite poet list.
