The Love of My Life

One year ago today
The love of my life faded away
Which opened the door
To a new way

Though times are rough
And facing life is tough
Gentle thoughts of you
Get me through

Remembering the years we shared
Without a care
And the deep undying love
That came from above

So do not fret
I'll never forget
The love we shared
Without despair

For now you are gone
And I'm all alone
But you'll always have my heart
That much I know

Days come and end
Memories are sometimes bright and dim
Til we meet again
I'll love you til the end

Love Karene

(p.s. A few weeks ago these words kept swirling and swirling around in my head. I just felt compelled to write them down. I wrote this in about 5 minutes. The strange thing is that I have never written anything, especially a poem, in my life. Craig was the poet.) Love you, my darling !

Hi Honey! What a BEAUTIFUL poem.
I am sure Craig was the inspiration for this. I know he is looking down from Heaven and is sooo proud of you and the WONDERFUL years you two had together. You will miss him forever, but will have ALL the great memories. I pray for you every day and hope you will find happiness in the future days.
I love you so much!
Mother

This is a truly awesome poem, Karene. It had to be given to you from the Lord. Bless you so much!

KR - that was beautiful and there is no doubt that Craig is channeling through in everything that you do. That is how we remember those that we have lost.
