Poem Artwork


How can I convey how lonely
I am without you
Memories so vivid of all
The things we used to do
How you would sneak up
Behind me, give me a kiss
I can never describe all
The things I have missed
Raising our children
Teaching right from wrong
Dancing in the moonlite
To our favorite song
Holding hands beneath
Our big oak tree
You carved our names there
For all the world to see

The house is so empty now
I don't hear a sound
Things just aren't the same
Since you're not around
I'm expected to go on
Smile through my pain
The kids tell me "Be Happy"
But I'm going insane
My heart is just a shell
I'm missing you so much
What I would give for
Just one more touch
So long I have loved you
So long I have cried
My soul went with you
On the day you died

Rest in peace, my husband
Sleep, for it will not be long
Until we are together again
Dancing to the angels song

Linda, what a tremendous poem. Again you show the deep insight you have into others lives. The empathic heart of yours beats so strong. Never think that you are not loved here or feel lost yourself and alone.
So long as we can be with you, that will never happen. I made many mistakes with you, and I am sorry. Bill

Linda,
This poem is so beautiful and comforting to those who have experienced such a loss. One of my really good friends lost her husband to cancer three years ago and through poetry of others -- including my own -- and the power of prayer, she is now engaged once more to a wonderful man. Memories never fade, but life goes on, the world keeps turning and in time, everything works itself out.
Thanks for this powerful write. I enjoyed it greatly.
Jill :)

Linda, such a beautiful poem. So filled with love and longing. Love the whole poem but these lines especially:

Rest in peace, my husband
Sleep, for it won't be long
Until we are together again
Dancing to the angels song

Beautiful words.

I really can't find the words to tell you how moving this is. Incredibly emotional, and well written.
