My Love

by Linda hillier 03/12/2006

I had a love
he brought me alive
gave meaning to my life
the sun shone brighter
warming me to my soul
whenever he was near
he brought Joy into my life
we shared thoughts
across a crowded room
as for laughter
it was with us every day
lightening the mundane
we smiled to see love grow
between your daughter and my son
knowing it unlikely to last
at 6 and 9 too young
but sharing their sweet pangs
all the time we had together
was so truly blessed
loving you made me a better person
always you had a kind word
and gave folks a helping hand
I lost you far too young
it left me a devastated wreck
I now live one day at a time
knowing the last thing u wanted
is for me to mourn
my darling it is so hard
how the hell can I not grieve for you
the one who was and is my every breath
still I love you
and will love you forever and a day

sleep in peace my love my heart my soul

Hi Shadow, I took your advice and took a look at your poem "My Love", very touching,it must have been hard for you losing your soulmate at such an early age, there are so many people who have experienced this terrible ordeal, to be able to write this tribute must give you satisfaction as Pat would have been so proud of you for doing this tribute, I have lost nearly all of my family, and even though I did not lose my partner we ended our marriage after 32 years, I still feel the hurt as you do, we both have to move on and it really is heartbreaking I know, but you have found a new friend in me and we can view each others poetry, I think that helps don't you Linda, those words you wrote where from your heart and that means a lot I am really sorry for your loss and I feel our meeting really means something, God bless you Linda, and all the best to you.
