Another Little Change
A poem about another change in my life since my husband passed away, I think of him every day, and every little change is like
climbing a mountain to me.
Another Little Change belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Everyday Women, Light In The Darkness, Live, Love, Dream: , Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and WMGAs I lie alone in my little twin bed
Not the king sized one my love shared with me
I wonder if he knows I miss him in that space
That’s no longer here, nor is he
I’m not sleeping as well as I used too
I don’t seem to have enough room
I rested peacefully on his side of our memory foam
I need him to come and visit me soon
I want him to come and tell me
that’s its okay for the change
I know I’m being very silly
But somehow I seem out of range
I’m in this little slab of a bed
Oh, it has a pillow top
But it’s up on wheels and it is too high
To get up on it I have to hop
I’m planning to take the wheels off
And make an adjustment that way
But it won’t be the same I just know it
Together everything was okay
Why do I feel I want his permission
Well, that’s really not the right word
But I feel as if I’ve given up part of our life
And I know I’m being absurd
It’s just one of those very small things
The things that nag at you in the night
We shared that bed for so many years
I want to hear him whisper , Babe, it’s all right
I love you Bill

Hi Elsie.
How sweet and sad you miss your Bill (of course you do).
You made me tear up. I know what you mean about wanting to ask him about taking off the wheels.
I always enjoy your writings.
Blessings,
Bobbi

then I will have more time to myself. take care, love you, Elsie
