Well, I'm not sure if y'all separated or if fate took her from you, but what an awesome offering for the contest here... so much emotion and imagery conveyed in so few words: great job! ;) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

I kept waiting for this to turn ugly in some way. The "and she left me" stanza. But I was wrong. So glad! I think this is a beautiful poem that rejoices in spending a lifetime together. This was wonderful.

Oh, I love this sweet story. Thirty-eight years of loving your angel who was also your dream. I'm so glad your dream came true. Well done, I saw no errors and enjoyed the poem. Hope you do well in the contest.
