Mornings

You used to tell me

 how much you loved waking up

   to a cheerful wife.

 

I would smile

 and say "thank you

  it's because you're in my life.

 

But, now

 I've lost that cheer

   knowing,

     you're no longer here.

About the Author
I was very happily married to Ray for 36 1/2 years. We have been together for over 38 years. I thank God everyday for bringing Ray into my life. Ray was my first and only love and I miss him more than life itself. I used to write short stories & poetry as a way to help in my recovery from my childhood. I journal quite a bit. Writing is a release for me and helps me to cleanse my soul.
