Reminder

The eighth of February comes
With no fanfare every year.
I try to disregard the date
Despite a falling tear.
A black number on the calendar
Stamped red upon my heart;
The birthday of my first, true love
From whom I had to part.
Since God took him, the passing time
Has helped to dull the pain
Until unfailingly each year
His birthday comes again.

So sad, dear Joyce, but how touching how you still feel the connection vibrating within your heart.
I reach out with a big hug, dear Poetess.
I am so glad you choose to share more often here in the Open!

love
Margherita

Dear Joyce......

I am sure many tears have been cried
As the years have gone astray
But in your Heart He has not died
Just temporarily gone away...


Much Love at this time

John

My daughter's birthday was in February too. A hard month for me as well.
