My wife passed on 7/12/23, this is my poem of grief |
I sit alone, looking around our room, but where are you I walk through the house looking for a glimpse of you I lie in bed, wishing you were lying beside me I see our grandchildren who want to sit upon your knee Our daughter is broken, lost without her friend There is only sadness and grief without end Each day for forty-nine years we were a loving caring pair Each day I could see you, each day smell your hair Each day we would hug, each day we would kiss Each day we would share in marital bliss Each day whether together or far apart Each day we knew we were in each other’s heart Each day whether I was good or slack Each day you were with me having my back Through better or worse we loved one another We held and laughed and supported each other Through richer or poorer we made it all do To ensure each other had what they were due Through sickness or health we tried to live on But I have no desire to, since you are gone God grant me the peace of living without you God grant be the strength to live on without you Jesus has told me He is standing beside you The Holy Spirit is present to love and to guide you Although I wish my time ended before I guess I am jealous of all that is yours So enjoy your walk with Jesus without me Until I join you for walks for all of eternity |
