Going about life as usual.. Busy with daily things that I do.. Going here and there trying to get things done.. I saw you, or thought so.. And tried not to stare.. Same smile I use to remember.. Tall and complexion fair.. No, It can't be.. Years have past since you've seen me.. Thoughts of long ago,cross my mind.. With memories that was almost lost.. An accident took you from me.. This person,you it can't be.. We shared a life of love.. Children were born,and they called you dad.. A good life is what we had.. Than one day,with out warning.. The angels took you from us.. Tears and sorrow was felt by all.. The kids miss you,your name they cried out.. Years have come and gone since that horrible day.. The kids are parents themselves now.. And finding their own way.. It is this time of year, your sorely missed.. And if you where here a grandpa you'd be.. Who is this man that I see? Maybe God put him here ,so we didn't forget.. Life's to short,not to be happy.. To have thoughts of what life has meant.. Having to share and care for someone,a lover and a friend.. I do miss you,but it's time to move on.. Love is too precious to hold it all in.. So good bye my first love,till we met again.. This courage comes within,cause.. I thought it was you..
Reading this poem reminded me of seeing someone last night I once knew. Had to take a second look to realize it wasn't as that old goat kicked the bucket several years ago. That old goat was my ex father-in-law :D
Chance. It had to be really hard for you to see that man that looked like your husband, brings back so many memories. Once in awhile, I see this one guy in town that is the spittin' image of mine that passed away. It just makes you stop...like ya can't move. Thank you for sharing another beautiful poem.

Rose, I cried the first time I read your poem.and again just now..That kind of loss know one knows unless you've gone through it yourself..It's a beautiful poem and from your heart.Thank you for bring it back.love to you my friend..
Yes, Chance, I agree. Nobody knows that kind of loss unless they have been through it and felt it. Your poem brought back memories, now I can look back and smile at the good times we had. Bittersweet memories.....
