My Loved One

For Bede

I lay still
While my loved one,
Sleeps.
 
His warm hand
In my hand,
I hear his breath
And follow the
Sound, of in and
Out.
 
I realize our
Time together,
Lessens, as tears
Fill my eyes.
 
He awakens
And smiles,
His eyes
Seem to say:
Enjoy this moment,
It’s all we have.

Beautiful,sweet,really enjoyed reading this Barb.It's scary how quickly life passes us by.

Thank you Gee62, if I could slow down the time what a gift that would be!

This is so beautiful, it reminds me of something I wrote about my husband last year before his transition to Heaven, I think I called it a A Summer Night. 36 years is a long time I was married 52 years, It would have been 53 the 22nd of this month. We have to cherish life’s moments. Didn’t mean to say so much,but I was very touched.

@Charlotte B. Williams Thank you Charlotte. I do remember your poem, A Summer Night, it also is beautiful. I am glad you enjoyed the poem. I forgot about this poem and it was a reminder to cherish the moment of NOW!.
