In fond memory of my former spouse. March 10, 1955- October 2, 2002 I Loved Him A gaze in face of disbelief Interrupts me in grate of grief To find the green upon the vine Thus tie my past with life of line To somehow connect now and then To recall him in times of when... I loved him Yet retrospect walks a tired trail Finding sorrow within its grail Exhuming that of ancient soil Once embedded in time and toil Then I heard her hush in my ear “Have you yet to see him, dear? Follow me, I will take you there It is a path your soul can bear” Silence swept that corridor In proceed to his final door Outside that gate of entrance end I held myself in cold suspend Then courage came by holy grace Allowing gaze upon still face With close of lid and rest in peace I know that I shall never cease To hold my mem’ries of him then Hold close to heart our times of when... I loved him |

That this was your ex- and that you could still see the good in what once was, tells me how open you are to the nuances of life. Very well done, Patricia. Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment. |

"A gaze in face of disbelief Interrupts me in grate of grief To find the green upon the vine Thus tie my past with life of line To somehow connect now and then To recall him in times of when... I loved him" Patricia...To take a moment such as this and relate it so sincerely and poetically, takes a special person. Enjoyed the read and the sentiment much.  |

Patricia, this does show the compassionate and loving heart that you have. To hold onto the good memories is the best thing, sometimes. They don't hurt so much, do they? Thanks for sharing your heart with us.  Hugs  Ethel |

Patricia, this is very beautiful.... Then I heard her hush in my ear “Have you yet to see him, dear? Follow me, I will take you there It is a path your soul can bear” this stanza reminds of someone I feel I know and I just can't place my finger on who. beautifully penned. Maree fate is not just |

And the beauty of it all is that you still love him, and I am sure you also have many fond memories... Beautiful words Patricia, very nicely done. |

I still have a lump in my throat from reading your loving and compassionate words. A poem of grace written with grace. EA |

This is truly beautiful! WP For what is a poet without words? Merely another human who hopes, dreams and fears in silence. |
