We met
Courted
Fell in love
Married

No kids had I
He had four
Neither wanted any more

We laughed
Cried
Argued
Healed

We Respected
Helped
Loved
Cherished

We made love
Real love
Not animal need
But desire to please
One for the other

We knew
One day
He'd be gone
And I would stay
That's how it was

He's gone now
And I'm still me
But I miss him
So desperately

Some day we'll meet
In Heavens home
Till then
I'm here
But not alone

I have my friends
To guide me on
And help me see
The morning dawn

When Heavens light
Is on my face
I'll take the stairs
To his embrace.
