Learning To Say Goodbye

The end of yet another month is drawing very near
Since you were taken from this life
And me, your loving wife.

No thoughts I think, no words I say, no wishes I could wish
Can bring you back where you should be
And that is here with me.

It’s been some time, so very long since your sweet face I’ve seen
Your eyes, so clear and so sincere,
So filled with love, my dear.

I miss your voice, your words of love, and how you made me feel.
The way you said, “I love you”
I knew it to be true.

You gave your all, held nothing back, until there was no more.
You shared all that you had to share
And never ceased to care.

Your loving arms, so strong that held me always through the years.
I miss them oh, in every way…
Much more than I can say.

Your kisses, sweet and gentle, I’ll never soon forget…
My heart still beats with love for you
In all the things I do.

My life has now been deeply changed from having been with you,
My heart now sees with eyes anew
For they’re now looking through…

The love we shared, the times that were, all - both good and bad…
Has taught me lessons, quite a few
And all because of you.

I take with me all that I’ve learned from your kind and gentle ways,
Losing you has shown me…
This is how always, I should be.

All these things and so much more that made our life complete
Is why, for me it is so
Very hard to let you go.

I miss you more than words can say but look inside my heart…
And see it all so very clear
How much I love you, dear!

So many times in months gone by I’ve felt your presence with me
And when I do I know you’re there
To comfort and to care.

These moments that I treasure and hold dear within my heart,
They give me hope and let me know
That you still love me so.

Thank you, my sweet man for leaving all these things with me…
Reminders that not all is gone
As life continues on.

But there is something now I’d like to give you from my heart,
A little gift, in my small way
I needed just to say…

On this our very special day, the 28th of January
For you and me…
With all my love, Happy Anniversary!

I know that you are happy where you are and that’s okay…
Maybe one day soon, I too
Will feel the same as you.

Until that day, I celebrate the years we had together
Alone a little longer…
As I grow a little stronger.

And until I find my way to a happiness that fits
Into my life without you
My world is still quite blue.
