The JournalHe read her stories daily From a journal that was their life But she had no recollection She'd ever been someones wife He read of how they met Special dates that come to pass When he proposed her marriage On a picnic in the grass Oh the smiles he brought her This tale of sweet young love She said how they were blessed By the lord up above He continued with the story Painful tears fell from his eyes He asked in silent prayer Let her see and recognize He read about their passion Love beneath the haloed moon Even sang their favorite song Just an old forgotten tune All at once she new him And cried had she been away He said its alright my darling I hope your back to stay But the time was fleeting Too soon the memories gone Once again he was a stranger And she in a world of her own He continued from the journal Still along way from the end But his hopes were born a new For his lover his best friend He read about their home Built on love and tears The children that they bore Nurtured through the years He described it to the letter There was nothing left perchance And he saw her wipe a tear In a moments stolen glance She said I love you darling I don't want to be alone As he took her hand in his He knew she was finally home He read to her that day From the journal of their life And with her final breath She knew she was his wife On the day of last goodbyes He placed the journal to her breast You'll never loose your way again For we've been truly blessed Now you'll be there waiting For a face you'll recognize You'll know me in an instant Bye the love still in my eyes By…deb/nana5 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
