Sweet tender thoughts go through my mind
I now can fly away
She gave me strength to soar new heights
to love another day
She ran her fingers through my hair
and kissed me on the cheek
I struggled hard to hold back tears
composure tried to keep
She brought out feelings I had lost
so many years ago
She'll always be a part of me
of this I surely know
I turned to see her one last time
before I walked the isle
She waived her hand to say goodbye
oh my...that lovely smile

ReplyDeleteThat was very sad, and I hope that you didn't really have to experience that. Other than that it was well worded and well ended. Not in pain of course, poetic form. Nomination worthy.
Very interesting write, i like this. Thank you. A spotlight.
