Widow

In the quiet aftermath, fairytale's close,
A widow now, where love once arose.
Memories dance of love's early spark,
Newlyweds' dreams, adventures in the dark.

Shopping escapades, where no one claimed the win,
Shared laughter, moments tucked within.
Doing life together, through joy and strife,
Raising kids, navigating the journey of life.

Now a widow, pain veiled in silent grace,
Alone she carries a once-shared embrace.
No one can fathom the depth of her woe,
Yet in her heart, love's enduring glow.

Your words ring true, Jay--journey of life takes us through many ups and downs. Silence does help to reflect and reminisce in the past when time changes for the worst.
