As time goes by I cry and sigh,
And remember the reasons for being alive.
As we journeyed side by side
for the 59 years we were groom and bride,
I knew that something good couldn't last forever
and that we'd have to part and no longer be together.
I look back at all the good times,
the family that we had,
and handled all the action - both good and bad.
When you love someone and they love you too,
you don't have to hug and squeeze.
Just being together is enough to please.
We traveled afar to so many places -
Italy, England, Ireland, lived in BC as well.
Met so many nice friends and saw such wonderful sights.
We lived a full life and did things just right.
So in recent years we didn't travel too far,
but stayed home and enjoyed it all.
Family and friends we would enjoy and partake
and sit side by side or go to the lake
We'd go to the park and play Scrabble at a table
and then take a walk for as long as we were able.
.
I don't recall an incident or a story I could tell,
because it's just the little things we both enjoyed so well.
Like the food to fix and things he'd need,
clothing or snacks or books to read,
gave me the satisfaction of fulfilling, then as always,
just whatever I could do.
I'm trying very hard to fill the hours and minutes,
But every time I look around he's right here in it.
His bed and chair are empty, but my heart is oh so full,
of the love I still have for him and know I always will.
