I'm painting the kitchen cupboards And I've done the hallway too But I can't decide on the trim Misty green or powder blue New tile on the bathroom floor Matching shower curtain and all But now maybe I'll just renovate And put in a corner shower stall
When I'm done you'll really love...Our House
I don't know why I'm telling you this You already see the finished plan I just hope you are pleased with whatn you see But I could use a helping hand You can see all the mistakes I've made And had to do it all again But when you look down from the clouds above You'll see a very lonely lonely man
Applying the finishing touches...to Our House
I know you're living in a bigger house In a Mansion of Glory, up there But with every nail I drive and each wall I paint I'll do it with loving care
Because this is ....Our House
I bet the neighbors will all be glad When I'm done..so they can sleep But we talked about fixing this old place up And it's a promise I'm gonna keep
God! I really miss you....in Our House
Oh, I almost forgot...say hi to Elvis for me!!

About this poem:
I wrote this poem shortly after my wife of 16 years passed away.
Very sad and loving tribute to your wife. Pray that you will be able to move on and when your ready - find a new love - not to replace - but to spend the remaining years of your life being loved.
I just read your poem and ... being widowed myself .... I could feel the sentiments in your words more and more as I read the lines.... Towards the end, it was even threatening to put me to tears because it just kept hitting home ....
Thank you for a nice poem.... I have three of my very own here at Poems which you can check out if you want ...
