The Wish Came True

Last night my wish came true
You were there, right in front of me
I looked deep into your eyes,
Exchanging knowing smiles,
And at long last,
I tasted the passion of your kiss.

We held each other in a warm and loving embrace
Determined to never let go.
I Love You! I Love You!
My wish has come true
You are here.

It's a miracle they said
How does one come back after they've passed?
I didn't care, you were here,
I saw your smile, I heard your voice,
I felt your warm touch, hand in hand

You came to help heal my heart
To say I must go on,
That you are fine, and I will be, too.
A loving bond never breaks
Our hearts are joined forever

A light comes through the window
I stir, and slowly open my eyes
My wish came true, if only for a while
In my dreams you visit.
Come back soon, my love.

And the World Keeps Spinning

The world spins and we go along
There are sunny days, cloudy days and dark days of rain.
We take our steps, happy steps, sad steps, steps of distress
And the World keeps Spinning.

The sun comes out and shines on our lives
Happiness overcomes us and fill our hearts with joy
How do we keep this lovely sunny weather?
And the World keeps Spinning.

As we go through life, we run into cloudy days
They happen to everyone, and we seek to find a ray of light.
Some days the sun returns and some days we move right into dark days of rain.
And the World keeps spinning.

Then we go our separate ways.  Your world ends.
The gray cloudy days surround me. Light is not to be seen.
I try and try, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time
And the World keeps spinning.

I was caught in the hurricane of grief. Tears, so many tears.
But smiles and good memories come from family and friends.
I move forward, one step at a time. Cautiously I focus on the ray of light
And the World keeps spinning.

Pain

PAIN

Cancer has no discrimination

It takes lives at every chance

We know so much about it

and yet know so little.

Where does it come from?

Why him?  Why her?

So much pain.

The cancer brings pain to the body.

The people feel pain for the sick person.

Pain. Pain. Pain.

Death comes. The disease stops.

That pain ends.

But the pain in others goes on.

It doesn't stop. It doesn't hide.

Memories comfort.

But the pain doesn't stop.

Compassion comforts.

But the pain doesn't stop.

We must endure.

Pain. Pain. Pain.

I am hurt.

I am mad at Cancer.

Inaugural Poem

Through the Years

On the day we were married, you grinned from ear to ear.
We said "I do" and promised, together, forever, my dear.
We were so young and so in love, I see in the pictures from long ago.

The whole world was in front of us, how it would end, we did not know.

We had struggles and good times, marriage can be so tough
The love was sometimes hiding, but we did have enough.
We worked  to be a couple, at times it was hard.
Even in the dark days, our love would stand guard.

We have two wonderful children, a loving family of four
The years flew by, they grew up, just the two of us once more.
This was to be a time for us,  a time to reap the reward
Onward and upward, away we went, you were on your way to soar!

Cut down at the knees, out of no where it came,
The hell that is cancer, was now the new game.
You are a champion, the best in my eyes
You would never give up, you gave more than one try.

I now sit alone, for nowyou are gone
I wonder and wonder, how I will go on.
The tears they won't stop, I miss you so much
I would give anything, to again feel your touch.

The pain it is deep, a big hole in my heart
Forever and ever, we will be apart.
Please walk along beside me, Let me know you are here

I need you to guide me, and comfort me dear.

I want you back, please turn back the clock, 

Oh how I miss you, you were my rock.

We worked so hard to make it, together always

Stopped in our tracks, to end all our days.

My future's now different, a new start for me
Not better, just new, that's how it will be.
The hardest thing in my life is when you did leave.
My life must go on, but for now I must grieve.
