No retrocede The day to me just mute and bare, Within the confines of my stare. And though the sun smiles in gay, It seems to me a dreary day. She has left on a mercy grace, On a kindness to emplace. Yet It shrouds me in distress, Without an unction of repress. I can't suppress the wake of sorrow Or future launch of lonely morrow. Or feel without a twinge of quell, The lonely time that I must dwell. It aches me deep, her fly away, I would her here each precious day. She is my shoal my anchor pole. She is the other half my soul. Although a temporary deed, For time, there is no retrocede. |

Tho soulmate doth part, be not despaired for in her return, you will be paired again with your angel, your life may she forever and ever be your loving wife. Beautiful, as always. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

There is not much more to say although I have no sun that shines so gay More like a white and cloudy sky A well done poem.. and that is why You see me here down below hoping she's back soon and will never go But without she's gone away would your words find such nice array? I enjoyed the piece like a sunday drive Because, I also miss my wife Well done Sy, but whom I'm telling here ![]() The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I agree! If you didn't feel the pain of missing her you wouldn't have gifted us with this lovely poem! So sweet! ![]() Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Hi Seymour, I was taken into this poem to the end as it told it woe so wonderfully. Such a moment. It aches me deep, her fly away, I would her here each precious day. She is my shoal my anchor pole. Rus |
