Yes. I can tell that you are ready to meet her in heaven. But stay around a little longer with your daughter and write more poems like this. We all enjoy your contribution to Fanstory.

Well done.

Goodness, I wish sure heart strength during this time. Please look at 2nd stanza, first line I believe. It might be my phone but it looks like 'str' should be something more. I have read other works by you and enjoy your style. Thank you.

This is such a lovely tribute to your late wife who you miss, but hold very fond memories of.
I'm not quite sure what 'str' stands for..
As usual I enjoyed the read. Ulla:)))

This is a poem that is strong and sincere. Sometimes people leave us, but there are still memories that remain with us.

PS: One little thing: "make str my thing" - please check this line.

I'm not sure if this made me sad or happy. I think the mellow color matched the tone well.

Wasn't sure what the 'str' in this stanza meant? :
I must stay strong, make str my thing,

Very emotional. Nice.

Awe. This is such a bittersweet piece. Thank goodness you have those wonderful memories. I do hope they ease the loss. This was tender and beautifully written. I'm very glad I happened upon it. Gretchen

You have written a lovely tribute to your departed wife. Have you been alone for some time, or has she passed away recently? My heart goes out to you. My husband passed away in 2018, and I miss him dearly. Nice writing.

JB1, This is beautiful, and I hope as you write it brings you closer to your wife. It breaks my heart each time I read one of these special pieces about her. You are blessed with the perfect talent for your poetry, and I'm sure she is reading right along as you're writing. Best, JohnC

Hello Jay, your poem is most heartfelt, and the love for your dear departed wife shines through in your writing. Of special note:

Those memories are all I know.
They give me help and make me grow.

(Hold onto your memories. No One can take your memories from you.)

Good rhyming. A poem from the heart. Keep the blue waters flowing.

I always love to read your amazing poetry dedicated to your lost love. Very well put together. A great flow and rhyme scheme. Your wife sounds like she was something real special and clearly shows how much you loved her. Beautiful writing.
