Loss Of Wife Death Poem
In Loving Memory Wife
You are not forgotten, my love
nor will you ever be –
As long as life and memory last
your soul will live in me.
I’ll miss you now
my heart is sore –
As time goes by
I’ll miss you more.
Your loving smile
your gentle face –
No one can fill
your vacant place.

In Memory Of A Wonderful Wife
I can picture a heavenly, faraway place
on a day that is sunny and fair –
me and my darling, snuggled up close
just sitting, enjoying the air.
Laughing and joking and sipping fine wine
and watching small clouds drifting on –
Sifting old memories, thinking nice thoughts
all heartache and sadness long gone.
I know you’ll be there love, still waiting for me
some day when my life is all done –
And what could be better than this at the end?
your smile and a seat in the sun
–
I have lost my souls companion
a life linked with my own –
And day by day I miss her more
as I walk through life alone.

Husband To An Angel
Echoes reaching
through the years –
Sounds sublime
caress my ears.
Ballads of
a garden bird –
Babies’ giggles
softly heard.
Still I crave
my dearest choice –
What I wouldn’t give
to hear Her voice.
Rainbows bent
in summer skies –
Misty hues
that stun my eyes.
Trees in autumn
limbs aglow –
Moonlit shadows
on drifted snow.
A vision longed for
in their place –
What I wouldn’t give
to see Her face.
Essence fashioned
from the rose –
Breaths of pleasure
fill my nose.
Linens fresh
upon the bed –
Wines bouquet
inside my head.
What fragrance missing
could compare –
What I wouldn’t give
to smell Her hair.
Sensations I have
begged to linger –
Contours felt
with every finger.
Ocean surf curled
’round my feet –
My body bare
on satin sheet.
An awareness gone
I loved so much –
What I wouldn’t give
to feel Her touch.
Chocolate sipped
in cold December –
A thousand flavors
I remember.
Honey spooned
upon my tongue –
Ice cream cones
when I was young.
The sweetness lost
I’ll always miss –
What I wouldn’t give
to taste Her kiss.

Beautiful are memories
of a moonlit night with you –
The spark of love we lit
and all the world felt new.
My heart told me I’d known you
in times so long ago –
Something deep inside me
had set my soul aglow.
Soul-mates re-united
bound by the ties of past –
Through each and every age
this perfect love will last.
So at our journey’s end
and the time has come to part –
An endless cord of love
will link us heart to heart.
–
As I journey toward life’s sunset
mourning her who went before –
Faith assures me, I’ll be with her
when I reach the other shore.

In Memory Of My Dear Wife
To lose someone so special
is very hard to bear –
It’s just so hard to comprehend
that you’re no longer there.
Yet somehow I feel comfort
in the memories I keep –
Knowing that you’re resting now
in deep, eternal sleep.
It broke my heart to lose you
although you’re not really gone –
Because a part of me went with you
and in me, you linger on.
My dearest Wife, I know we’ve said
our final sad goodbye –
But deep inside my heart I know
our love will never die.
–
You were a wife in a million
why did you have to go –
You meant the world to me
I really loved you so.
If I had one choice today
my choice would not be hard –
I’d wish that I could have you here
to give you a birthday card.
–
I Miss You My Wife
I think about you always
I talk about you still –
You have never been forgotten
and you never will.
I hold you close within my heart
And there you will remain –
To walk with me through my life
Until we meet again.
–
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand –
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains –
For every joy that passes
something beautiful remains.
–
In Memory Of My Beloved Wife
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on –
And cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone
–
My Beloved
We never got to say good-bye
Still I live with no regret –
For I can’t recall, can you my love?
The day where we’d forget.
To reaffirm those bonds we made,
Often subtle in the ways –
Inviting smiles a knowing touch
Adding promise to our days.
Days of joy and some with tears
Those many years we shared –
Yet seldom came a sunset
That it wasn’t known we cared.
Love expressed as more than habit
Instead confessed sincere –
Endearments offered from our hearts
How many did we hear?
We made no wounds with bitter words
No scars were left behind –
The love we knew, so strong yet gentle
Was never that unkind.
I speak of we but it was You
Who lifted us above –
The heartache life would sometimes bring
How Grand! You were to love.
I’ll keep Your memory in my heart
Till last I close these eyes –
The day I pray You’ll light my way
To a Realm of, ” No Good-byes “.

Partings come
and hearts are broken –
Loved ones go
with words unspoken.
Deep in our hearts
there’s a memory kept –
For a wife and mother
we will never forget.
