When All Was Right

Please tell me why we didn't get our happily ever after?

I fell for you hard, it was love at first sight 
As our love grew you became my everything 
We were inseparable and all was right
Every day you caused my heart to sing


Please tell me why we didn't get our happily ever after? 

We got married almost a year after we met
I loved you so much, I wanted to bear your kids
You introduced me to watching the sunset
I often think of a house full of grandkids

Please tell me why we didn't get our happily ever after?

I thought it was your witty sense of humor 
Because of the funny faces that you made 
We found out you had an inoperable brain tumor
You're not here, and your place I would trade

Please tell me why we didn't get our happily ever after?

Darren White March 10, 2017 at 1:18 AM Ohhh, Alexis! I don't know what to say, can I please just say (((hugs)))?

Andrea Dietrich March 9, 2017 at 9:21 PM this is so sad, Alexis. I take it that this is true. And if so, I'm very sorry for your loss. Touching poem

Arthur Vaso March 9, 2017 at 8:26 PM Hi Alexis, this is so sad, and so well expressed!!!

Eileen Manassian March 9, 2017 at 3:57 PM Oh dear...I didn't expect that ending at all. Very sad, dear. Powerful write. You might want to check the second line. I think you have a typo there...wall...was? Hugs

Freddie Robinson Jr. March 9, 2017 at 2:43 PM A very bittersweet poem, Alexis. Yet, the love revealed in the poem is so beautiful. Like the song said: Precious and few are moments we two can share ... A heartfelt poem, which is why we must cherish every minute w/our beloved. We never know when we'll be separated by death. A double 7 for such a touching poem. Love and more love to you, dear.

Doug Vinson March 9, 2017 at 9:59 AM Whew... Sometimes there are no good answers (I don't care what they say).

Chris Green March 9, 2017 at 9:47 AM Damn Alexis, I wasn't expecting that ending. A broken heart is one thing but wow, this is so sad and heart shattering. I am close to speechless here. Wow.
