My Man: He's Gone

MY MAN; HE'S GONE
I'll miss my husband, my lover,
my friend.
He's gone away and won't be
back again.
He's in a place where there's no pain
or sorrow.
I wish I could wake up to
him, tomorrow.
We had so many years of happiness
with each other.
Our love was stronger than
a sister's to a brother.
I remember when he asked me
to marry him.
We had struck it out together
through thick and thin.
When he got sick, he didn't grumble
or complain.
He kept, right on living, like he had
everything to gain.
He lived his life with dignity
and so much grace.
He always seemed to keep a smile,
upon his face.
When he knew his time on Earth
was coming to a close;
to be at home until the end,
is what he chose.
Our days were filled with love
but it was so hard
to watch him finish out the role,
in which he starred.
I'll ne'er forget the love that God
gave us, as one.
We'll continue it in Heaven
as if it had just begun.
Dedicated to my late
husband, George

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Annette, this is absolutely too beautiful for words. You can feel the love in every word that you write. I have been there and know the feeling well and my heart is with you. George was a lucky man, but I am sure that he knew that. If it is any consolation, there is a bright star up there watching over you named George (right next to the star that is watching over me), isn't it comforting to know that they are still around.
Beautifully Written and Touches The Heart.
