Awaiting Your Embrace By the time that you read this verse I’ll be sitting by God’s side Praying for the strength you’ll need To help your pain subside I wrote this poem to tell you dear The love for you I feel How every time I held you close I knew our love was real These years we’ve spent together Still treasured in my heart The joy you brought to me each day Great moments did impart It was not my choice to leave I pray you understand I still wished many years with you But life rests in His hands I went to Him without regrets I have lived a life of bliss But whispering my love for you Is what I’ll truly miss I know you’ll find it difficult Without me by your side Just look deep inside your heart It’s there I still reside Each day I’ll be holding you Comforting your pain At night I’ll join you in your dreams Hug you tight again The times you are in deep despair And eyes begin to tear Let memories of us gift you smile Help rid you of all fear Even though I’m in heaven now My love didn’t die Holding tight to memories sweet Shared by you and I Weep not for me for I am safe In God’s loving grace Awaiting the reunion of our souls And your sweet embrace |

Will she understand when she sees the dried tear drops on it? I think this is more than a Keeper, Brian...and I think you'd best print off the numerous responses this is going to bring... just so she will know that she shared well the heart of a poet... |

Brian, I echo everything Karilea said! This is a part of you...your heart and soul...something that will live on forever....something for your wife to treasure should you depart before her. Any woman would be overjoyed with a gift such as this. Thank you for sharing this with us. Very well done poet sir! ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Brian you are truely amazing, how sweet and thoughtful, how beautiful and how lucky is the one to receive this when your life here is done. May I ask your permission to also keep this close to forward to my husband and daughters if the time was in need, for I would never be able to write the words the way you have, and they have been written so perfectly. Hugs Fee Expressions, |

Hello Brian How very easily you speak of the great love and devotion you have for you wife. I began to submit some of my poems to a new site and they asked me who my favourite poet was and I said it was you. And after reading these magical words it's easy to see I made a very wise choice. Take care.....Sue Suetang |

When you take that final journey, your words will no doubt bring tears of love, comfort, and peace. This is stunningly beautiful, Brian. But of course I've come to expect nothing less from you than the very best. |
