Mark Hughes Poet Elegy

Wayward Soul

So many tears have fallen,
countless times I've cried
such carnage to my heart
the day that you did die.

Memories are left, and must sustain,
a life I live with doubts,
the woman I loved so thoroughly
must try to live without.

You gave my life such meaning
and shaped just who I'd be,
two peas, so close, in single pod
no telling you from me.

We clicked as one, lives filled with fun,
those days now gone forever
this wayward soul, seeks a sun,
like days we had together.

Daniel Turner July 25, 2017 at 8:58 AM You were lucky. Most people never find that special one. Very few these days honor the vow,'till death do us part." I know you're sad but poems like this one, show you are healing. This is very tender and from the heart. Very moving, Mark. My mom passed yesterday. So I can kinda relate. Daniel Turner July 25, 2017 at 12:04 PM Her name was Ivon Turner Jan 2 1934 July 24 2017. Thank you:) Mark Hughes July 25, 2017 at 11:24 AM Daniel my Sincerest Condolences to you! What is her name? There is no love like a Mothers Love, and we only get 1. My wish for her is to be at peace now! Take care Daniel, and as always, thank you for your kind words!
