A Lilac Casket!
Now they had kids of their own.
Still we stayed together.
Our love was true-blue.
We never dreamed that cancer would take you from me.
Now they have placed you beneath the dirt.
Oh how my heart does hurt.
Why did you have to go before me?
If only I could, I would gladly trade places with you.
I wouldn't have to think twice my wife.
If that would only bring you back to live out your life.
I love you so much--my darling wife.
You were my entire life.
Now I spend my days at the cemetery by your gravesite.
I spend my nights all alone knowing that I will always be lonely.
Because, You were my one and only.
How can I ever expect to be anything other than lonely?

Post a CommentYou did a wonderful job on this. Very moving.
You have always written the most beautiful poetry about your beloved wife. So many people long to be loved the way you loved your wife. You're a special man.
wishing you all the best
Wonderfully written of your feelings over your recent loss, I hope your writing helps you to deal with this big change to your life.
Thanks so very much Friends. I would never have believed that it was possible to love another person as much as I loved her. I know too that no matter what may happen in the future if I find someone else or not that I will always love her just as much as I have in the past and still do today.

A very well defined realistic emotion. Very well done, you are in my prayers :)
