Another fine poem on a favourite theme. There is tenderness and regret, and yet hope is expressed for the future when you are both reunited in the next life.

"You were the sugar in my tea," is such a lovely sentiment and says so much about the relationship you had with your beloved wife.

As always, beautifully written and genuinely expressed. Your poetry sounds like a song when it rolls off the lips.

Take care and be well and happy.

Sweet love poem and tribute, seemingly based around the cherished words 'I do...'

Great rhyme and meter as you uncover tender memories of your wife, leading to thoughts of being reunited in Heaven.

Nice.

Steve

This poem is so sad, are you okay? I am worried by the tone of your poem, especially your last lines: "You still remain within my heart-
Keep me in yours, till I depart.

Always a pleasure to read your fine poetry.

I believe everyone loves somebody, that somebody will always remain in one's heart. All the happy moments together will never be forgotten as you said in your poem " Fond memories I'll always keep, until I take my final sleep;.."

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jay bird!

Great job with this rhymed and metered poem
Sonnets are usually in iambic pentameter (10 syllables per line) but.8 is fine.
Everything is correct in both rhyme and meter except you have 7 syllables in your 1st line
That should be easily corrected by adding the word "and" between the words "long" and "time" so you get this...

long and time worn night.
Very lovely and heartfelt

This is delightful. You've created another beautiful tribute to the love of your life. "She was the sugar in your tea. It was true then, will always be." This line is so heartfelt I'm almost sure she could hear it. It's inspirational to know there is such a thing a undying love.
