Eternally Free







Every year, on the anniversary of my husband's death, I write him a poem.  Every year, I miss him more-------
                  More than Yesterday,
                  Less than Tomorrow

The following is this years poem:


May I have this dance, he held out his hand
And I was transported into A PROMISED Land
A place where I felt supremely safe
Gathered inside his warm embrace
Strengthened and guided along the way
Able to endure, survive, what're come what may
 
Longingly holding his outstretched hand,
Understanding I'd have to take my stand,
Knowing that no one would ever replace
The joy of his holding me, stroking my face,
Or brushing the tears streaming from my eyes.
He is gone now---I have to realize
 
May I have this dance?---no I'll dance alone
Remembering memories of dances we've known
The touch of his hand, the strength of his arm
The love in his eyes, his boyish charm
Till he  comes again to  ask, "will you dance with me?"
I'll embrace him, and  dance off--- Eternally Free.

written with Love
and Eternal Faith that
We will be together again
