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?

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 3/9/2017 2:43:00 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. Login to Reply
