Memories
Amy Edge
 

Amy wrote me this poem soon after Charles passed away.


Yesterday there was us,

we sat and thought,

we could escape the impossible,

and tackle the worst.


Yesterday there was us,

and I knew who I was,

the future was bright,

and dreams reachable.


Yesterday there was us,

but today there's me,

a cupful of memories,

and a "little you" remains.


Today, I'll be strong,

there will be a day I see you again,

tomorrow is uncertain,

but I pray God,

you will keep us safe.


Because yesterday there was us,

today there's only me,

and tomorrow can only bring me one day closer to you.


Thank you Amy!  You were so wonderful after Charles passed away.  I honestly do not think I would have made it through those first few months without you!

To My Beloved
by Celia Wenig

 

You had a talent for bringing special meaning to life,
It was such a pleasure to be your wife.
You helped me to grow and to realize
The fullness and the beauty in our lives.

 

Every day I counted my blessings.
Then God called, and you went away
Out of this world to a brighter day.
Suddenly my life of gladness
Turned to utter sadness.

 

My grief wears me down, I shed so many tears,
As I recall your love and devotion through the years.
For your sake and in memory of your name,
I pray for strength to do things the same.

 

To reach out, to fill the hours with useful ways,
To comfort, to cheer and have no more empty days.
I try to console myself -- it was God's greater plan,
So I must accept it, if I can.

 

You moved away to His splendid home above,
If there is life after death,
I know you will be waiting there for me,

With love. 

Though Heaven and Earth divide us, and the distance is so great,
I count my blessings for the years you were my mate.
I will live my life remembering, while you wait, slumbering.
My beloved, may you rest in peace.
