Thinking Back

Thinking Back 

When we were young and before she was my wife
  I didn’t know she was going to be the love of my life
I miss those special times that we had
  I miss all the times so very bad 
I don’t know where I found a talent to write poems late in my life
  It must come from the woman I loved who was my wife 
Over the years we have had arguments and called each other names
  Like little kids playing silly games 
In a picture of my wife the sun shines in her hair and makes it glow
  To me she looks like my loving angel with a halo 
Thinking back on our first pregnancy
  That was hard for my wife and me
Some times she had morning sickness
  At times she had made a mess 
In that nine month period of time
  She had fallen for the third time 
My heart was divided in quarters
  My wife my son and my two daughters
I think my heart will become whole
  That day that my wife takes my soul
