pillar of love

After all these years,
we still stand—
your love,
your life,
sacrificed for me.

Our struggles were always overtaken by love.
Your smile
shone brighter than the rest.
You blossomed into my rose,
my calm in every storm.

You were my heart
when mine felt lost.
My shoulder
when the world came crashing.
Your kisses—
moments of love I’ll never forget.

We shared laughter,
shared dreams,
and then…
shared life.

I watched your hands shake,
your eyes go dim—
as you gave everything
to bring ours into this world.

You left me with a heartbeat
and a newborn cry.
One life gone.
Two still alive.

Now it’s just us.
Me and the child
you gave your life for.
She has your eyes.
And every time I see her smile—
I swear I see you.

I walk alone,
but never without you.
Tiny footprints follow mine,
but your shadow walks beside us.

I tell her stories.
I hold her close.
I wear your ring.
I kiss your photo.
And some nights,
when the wind moves just right—
I hear your voice whisper:
"You’re doing just fine."

Our hearts are still strong.
Our souls still chained.
And when my time comes—
when the quiet takes me too—
I know you’ll be there,
waiting in the light.

I will find you again,
my pillar of love.
