 My today's thoughts

TODAY THE SKY IS GRAY My Love


  

 
YOU ARE MISSED AND LOVED


TODAY THE SKY IS GRAY

When I awaken this morning I lay praying and  thinking of my life
If I had let myself I would have been full of dread

So many years ago on this day of this month
we stood and spoke our vows to each other and to our God

Most of the time was full of joy
Often there were tears

I was a young girl full of myself - wanting what I wanted
Thinking much to highly of myself

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then our first child was born
I never really knew what giving love was till then

There was a little life looking to me for her needs and care
With her my whole heart I did share

I do not think I ever loved anyone before more than myself
For the first time I thought of someone's needs and wants over mine

Joy filled our heart for we then had a son  
Our love we freely gave - our hearts he so easily won

Little ones with eyes of blue like their dad's
Miniatures of me and you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The last few years of my love's life he was very ill
BUT his courage and devotion to his family were without measure

He loved his God - he never questioned "Why me"
Each morning his prayer was "Thank you Father for this beautiful day"

It made no difference if the sky was raining and gray
or if there was snow and ice on the ground

To him it was beautiful for he was with us
He knew this was only the beginning of our life journey together

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I awaken this morning I lay praying and  thinking of my life
If I had let myself I would have been full of dread

God reminded me of all these blessings He gave - Today the sky is gray
 but I - like my love -  say "Thank you Father for this beautiful day"

*Where did the years go?  It seems like just yesterday...
But the styles remind me it was "Our Golden Days".

Happy Anniversary - May God keep you, My Love
You are loved and missed
