As I think of yesteryear To my eye comes a tear A love was pledged on this day We were ready come what may I was filled with such hope No idea we'd reach the end of the rope Here and now four years passed So many memories have been amassed Do you remember the beauty of the bay We enjoyed on that day in May Returning to the place we met With your love I was set Holding all these memories dear The softness of your voice I hear Oh how far we have come Still feel like that some I am filled with infinite sorrow Knowing for us there's no tomorrow On the day we were joined together Thought any storm we could weather Just had to write about this For you an anniversary wish I wish for you all the best Happiness, health, and all the rest Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Sad, but I enjoyed the way it was written anyway.  Funny how we hold on to things so much. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

So very touching, but sad too. It shows you've come a long way to be able to wish him well and move on, yet hold on to the memories.

Lone Wolf, Very sad, but written with a true and good heart! You are a very special person, my dear, and sometimes it feels better to say what you are feeling rather than keeping it inside. Love Ya~ ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

Lone Wolf, this brought a tear to my eye. It is so poignant, and so similar to what I felt when my ex-wife and I got divorced. The ending of a relationship can be very excruciating - but it's wonderful that you have such a talent for expressing your emotions! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful piece! {{{HUGS}}}  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Lone Wolf, there is nothing more painful than letting go of someone who has been such a big part of your life. Often this is done with much bitterness and anger. You however, write this with such compassion and grace I am almost in tears reading it. A beautiful poem about moving on... one we could all stand to learn from. Michael |

Michael, Thank you very much. Please have a tissue for those tears. There is pain, but I choose not to dwell on what can never be. I hope that it helps others to heal too. LW |

James, You are so right, my friend. That is what I am hoping for. I do forgive for all the past. Would not be who I am today if it hadn't have happened. Thank you!! LW |

This month is our 30th wedding anniversary, too numerous were the events of hardship to follow that have brought us to the strenghts we have today, but I do know that this anniversary will be very special. Four years seems such a short time. May you have many more happy years in your future, and who knows what that future will be. Look ahead, it could be wonderful Liz |
