I took your hand and
you began to tremble.

I imagined you could feel it
a surge of emotion
rushing from my heart to yours.
Love I hope!
I hope and pray its love
but there is to much fear.

This moment,
so unlike the thousands we shared,
but rightfully ours.
Private and tender,
a mirror to the cold gray rain outside our window.

Your kiss soft and light.
The finest silk caressing a cloud.

Moist twinkling eyes,
deepest green,
all knowing,
sparkle as we recap our daughters first school play
how cute she was with her skirt
tucked into the back of her leotards.

Beautiful and pale,
so much pain.
Your smile falters, again and again.
A tear, your first for me,
released by slowly closing eyes.
Your hand stopped trembling.

Fighting back the wail climbing my throat
I placed my head against your bosom
and let the tears flow.
I wish I were with you still.

Well, I have to say, that I was near moved to tears with this poem. I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so heartbreaking.

Take Care

Deepest healing takes place in the wash of the heart. Extremely well said here.
Remain in good thoughts, and in the arms that love you through. ThisDiamond
