Your Deepest Love

Your smiling face lit up a room Your charm won a thousand hearts At sweet sixteen Naive and shy With tresses of auburn hair A penchant for my locks of red They turned your head You stole my heart As two we made a life When I became your wife With ups and downs We always knew Whatever we faced We faced as two We were blessed with a beautiful son He was our only one So many happy memories To treasure ~ and I do But life without you darling can be lonely makes me sad Then I recall the words you spoke as we sat reminiscing Declaring such deep love for me Much deeper than before Now I recall your loving words To me they mean so much Your words of love are feeling almost like a gentle touch Today’s the anniversary when you left your love behind eleven years now passed yet, in my heart you’re still alive your deepest love ~ helps me survive 27th December 2019 For my soulmate 1944 - 2008 on the 27th December Contest Strand Select 7 Sponsor Brian Strand 1st Place

Wonderful tribute Ann, it sounds like you had such a wonderful time together! Death is always sad, but for some reason, more sad near Christmas. Do not know why, it just is. Sending you lovely prayers today, my sweet friend.

Such a joy to see your lovely commentd this morning dear Caren. Yesterday was made even worse because my son always came down here to be with me on this anniversary and so I hope and pray they are together. I felt there were a couple of 'signs' yesterday that suggested this may be so. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
