Goodbye My Love By Richard Maxfield 12-30-98 Covenant between God Woman and man Never to be broken That was his plan God placed us together Never to part Two people With just one heart Bone upon bone Flesh became as one In love together Example of how it’s done Now the time has come To let you go My thoughts my love You should know Acing arms longing For the warmth of you Standing empty Nothing more to do Thoughts of yesterday Flicking shadows in my mind Memories of us Another place in time Ignited passion Love’s fevered pace Consumes my being Memories the only trace Hopes and dreams That will never come true Just a piece left of me The rest you take with you 22 short years I held you tight Each day on my mind Dreams every night If love could be bought Any price I would have paid If the love we shared Could have been saved Looking back on our life Just one regret Your love for me faded So much life yet I pray what you’re looking for You will find I had it all When you were mine. |

Richard, it is a long time and, there were lots of good times in there I'm sure. This is a truly outstanding piece, I can feel this, I truly can. At least you gave it a good chance, at least you both tried, and no one can take the memories and the time away from you. And then the lessons you've learned they will help you go forward. You see ever the optimist, keep going forward.  Really excellant writing here, utterly wonderful. Take care Kid Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
