(This is not a sad poem; it is about my love for my husband, and even though I miss him, our love was and is always joyous.)


Love, I met you
   so unexpected
     a life we built-
       our fingers laced.
Daughters raised
Daughters loved
   still together
      still as one
        our fingers laced.
Holding close
to love and dreams.

Love, I lost you
  so unexpected
    the life we built-
      our spirits laced.
Daughters raised
Daughters loved
  souls together
    still as one
       our spirits laced.
Holding close
to love and dreams.

This is so beautiful Sheila!.....tugs at my heart and makes me teary eyed.
You are very lucky to have experienced true love like this....many never do and spend their whole life searching. I believe that love like this transcends time and place and never really dies......
