It wasn't s'posed to end this way, For this wasn't in our plans, It ends and interrupts the life We shared that was so grand! For 4 and Thirty years as One, We weathered life's stormy sea, And together we made it through-- For there was a You and me. We shared such joys and happiness, As well as many aches and pains, And each other's life we'd bless And see each other through the strains. You e'er were such a strong One, Though frail in body, not in mind, You were my life's bright shinning Sun And my life's most precious find. I ne'er dreamed this day would come You are gone and I'm all alone, A total eclipse of my dear Sun Leaving an empty heart and home. It wasn't s'posed to be like this, But "Come and grow old with me," For now its true that we will miss "The best" that was "yet to be!" I tread a sad and lonely path, Surrounded by my memories, The life we planned, was not that-- But to have You e'er by me! Rest in Peace, my Lovely One, I'll be on after a while, And once again, When Life is done Together we'll share a glad Smile! ``````````````````````````````````` [Written in memory of my dear Wife, Linda (Shull)White, who passed away after a wonderful life and a valliant struggle on June 15,2005] |

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God heal your broken heart and lead you on the path of recovery. It is a beautiful poem and it sure does express your heart. I could feel your pain as I read your words. You have a wonderful talent and I hope you will continue to write; believe me, it is healing to write poetry. Sheri Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |

Words don't seem to be enough to express how sad I am for your loss David. Your poem says it all though. Remember the love and the life of your wife and she will live forever. She's in God's hands, safe and free of pain. Take care of yourself. Sharon |

Dear David, Thank you for sharing this. I can only imagine how immense your void must be at the present time. May our Lord give you strength to sort through your pain and beautiful memories in the days ahead. You'll be amazed how many you've both touched through the years, will now return to pray for or help you in other ways, maybe even a story from a past inspira-tion they received. I do pray you'll posting more again as time allows. Again, I'm sorry for your loss and will pray for your healing, David. God bless, Rae |

I, also, was very sorry to hear of your loss, David. I will pass the information on to Pepper, unless you wish not. I have no words that can ease the grief but at least you know there are many friends here with you in their thoughts. Be well..... |

I would like to thank you one and all, for standing with me and hlding me up in your thoughts and with your prayers. Thank you both Poet friends old and new, I know I am in good company. Though I have been away for quite some time, I can still feel at home here, for I was one of the ones, which encourage the beginning of this particular forum. I am glad that it is still here and there are many to carry on the spiritual messages in verse to help touch the lives of others, even in an unearthly, or heavenly way. As I am able I will plan to make a come back here and on the other forums, which I used to frequent. I would be glad to hear from any of you via e-mail at [email protected] Balladeer, I would be pleased if you would pass on the news to Pepper, another dear sweet friend I met here. Blessings to you All, David L. White Every Day's a Blessing |

Dear Brother, I share in your tragic loss, knowing you both over the years, a dear brother and a sweet sister-in-law. Linda was a "one of a kind" unique individual who brightened and enriched so many lives. Knowing the depth of your love and devotion for each other I can not imagine the pain and sorrow you are feeling after being together for 34 years. Though the void is immense, you have many friends and family to stand beside you, shoulder to shoulder as you weather the stormy days ahead. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! You've expresed yourself well in this poem and our hearts are touched by your loss and the subsequent grief. Please keep writing. Your brother and friend, Dennis Jesus knows and Jesus cares, we do too! |

David, I am very very sorry to read here of the loss of your wife for 34 years, but I am also very happy to see your name here again on these pages and do hope to frequent here more often myself. I can only imagine what it might be like to lose someone as close as this. I do appreciate your closeness through the past few years and for allowing me, I feel, to be a small part of your family. I agree with your brother in saying that you are not (you are not) alone. I do pray for you and for your strength and that God would be ever close to you and your family during this time of grieving, of restoration, and of recovery. God bless you, David. Love, -Bob |

Marge notified me about you,David.I'm very sorry and my heart goes out to you.I can only say to you what has been said to another fellow I know very well who had been together with his love for nearly 50 years and was separated by death...think on how blessed you were to meet her,to share for as long as you did,to know there is a binding that will never be broken even by this separation,for your mutual love is of the kind that will never be false nor will it ever end.Think on the rarity of your closeness,for what you shared unfortunately is not found by all.You were blessed and still are blessed.It is never an easy road when the one you loved most has been taken away.You feel totally alone.But,honestly, this is not the case judging by the heartfelt support I see within this page, and I am certain that those who are closest to you,including your brother,share with you in all. Love never dies,my friend...she is still with you. Peace to you,Geoffrey If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. |
