Best Wifeold Poems
It was at my door when I awoke : UPS no Stamp, no address, No Signatures
I bent my old body and picked up a Book “Darn, Left my glasses Inside
I turn to go in trip on the Newspaper “Sh_ _” Terasa get daddy the paper
I set the Book down : Pour a cup of coffee ; “Such a GOOD Girl” Let’s read
The Red Sox beat up on B.C. It’s only Spring Exhibition Games; But : MAYBE
Out of the corner of my eye, a GOLDEN Light in Emulation of a HALO
Coming From the Center of the Black Book , I pick it up and see the Title
Alluring, as the first Daffodil peeks, with a smile, between her Sun-colored Cheeks
The Book of DREAMS Come TRUE ; No Author, no Forward , no Dedication
I open to page 1 “what the - - - “ Nothing on it and there’s only 1 page Wait, WAIT
There’s a note :” Do You want to enter this Dream? TOUCH Here A picture is forming
A Princess Cruise Ship; no wait THE Princess Cruise ship I was Married on ; LENORE
I SEE LENORE ( I touch” TOUCH Here”) as I am Vacuumed into the page of Reality
I still have my Tux on ; I check my nine year old TIMEX 7:20 P.M. “Excuse me “Dad”
Lenore, my Glorious Bride, my Forever Beside, when are we going to excuse Ourselves
Right Now “ Mom, Dad, Family and Friends Thank-You for Your Warm Gifts Harry and I
Will retire Now ; she extends Her hand; I Loving hold it as we Run to our Suite
Sunday August 26, 1971 - 8:00 A.M. I awake to the aroma of Sausage and Eggs
The Most Glorious site, the Warm Glow surrounding My Most Only Beloved Wife “Lenore”
Is It Remnants from the Warm Glow For which SHE has Given Me As I LIVE my Dream
“Terasa, Such a Good Girl” -- “Close the Book for Daddy”

*for That Old Red Barn contest sponsored by Rick Parise
They sat on the creaky old porch swing
Looking across their dried up fields
He was remembering a favorite tune
Sang it sweetly into her good ear
She flashed a smile into his eyes
Gazed at their barn still standing proud
"Oh Pa" she whispered,"do you recall
When we met at that barn dance long ago?"
He grinned at her the way he did
And thought about that sweet young gal
As they danced the lovely night away
In that big old barn on down the road
Now memories are all that's left to them
But they're built strong like those old red barns
No love can be found in this lonely old house,
The hardest thing in life is losing ones spouse.
But sooner or later that day it always comes,
And leaves us with only memories and loneliness from which to pull from.
And no matter what people think you never completely recover till you are reunited once more,
And can join that loved one that awaits you on Gods golden shore.
When you live with that someone special for most of your life,
Whether that someone special be husband or wife,
When the other half is taken there goes a very big part of what you are about,
The half you turn to for strength and support when you have days filled with doubt.
That is why they are called our better halves because in their hearts they hold our love,
This person God sent special, just for us and straight from up above.
So till that day comes, hold on with all your might to that one who is so precious to you,
For you may be the one left living in that old house with only those memories to get you through.
