Approaching Anniversary of Losing My Wife
Three long years since my love has gone away
And I have settled into a life of lonely self-ease,
Seeing no regrets or sorrows I need to appease
Still sometimes I think I live in perpetual disarray.
If morning should portend a dark and gloomy day
My personal freedom ensued from a dread disease
That took my loved one away like a chilly breeze,
Leaving me alone and bewildered in fogs of gray.
So, this quandary lingers in my oft-grieving mind
How to move my life into exciting new adventures
Without feeling guilty that my love is left behind,
That she is no longer able to grace my ventures
Which will not prevent me keeping her enshrined
And honoring her among my cherished treasures.
