Ever Present
Written for one who deeply touched me with his accounting of his continued love of a lifetime, wanting to express in words, feelings trapped in his heart, unable to find the rhyme hidden by loss and pain.
Now years Later I believe these two have found each other once again.
Ever Present belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalThe aroma of your perfume still lingers in the air.
We were what most would define as an inseparable pair.
Nothing could stand in our way to keep us apart.
Together accomplishing miracles with purity of heart.
Raising our children till all had left the nest.
Peace and quiet, most would agree, finally we could rest.
Not a moment passed, and the grandchildren came.
Many memorable years, then on our parade it would rain.
You took ill, often the pain, unable to bear.
Many treatments,and pills, a hairpiece you would wear.
Remission,elation,submission,depression,more radiation.
Three years on this roller coaster, then realization.
This fight for life was nearing a terminal end.
Her last two weeks every moment I would spend.
Taking care of her every need, only wanting another chance.
Knowing with each falling tear this was our departing dance.
You left peacefully one night in your sleep.
Holding you close, my last embrace, forever yours to keep.
My memories of you keep me going strong.
Often I feel you close, as if you’ve never gone.
If ever I was given a chance a to live again.
With you my dear, my wish to once more begin.

Truer words never spoken, so easily we get caught up in all the aspects of life that are simply unimportant and lose sight of what is, so often it is a wake up call such as this poem relates to, that finally reunites our hearts and mind. As I catch up on all that I have missed during my absence I understand your tears, my thoughts, respect and love are with you and yours, so fortunate I am to have you as a friend
