A love poem for my husband
A chapter in the book Family Poems and Stories 2010-2017
Missing you
by Mustang Patty
|
We've heard it said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, And in our years together, we've spent so much time apart, Not that either of us likes to wander, Distance just naturally comes between us, and it has right from the start. Marrying a sailor was probably not the best choice for me, For the first three years of our life together, There were more empty days than full, More lonely nights than the ones with you beside me, And it became the way of us, the yearning, the sadness, and sometimes anger. Our babies were my company, first a daughter, and then a son, Single parenthood was thrust upon me, and sometimes I wanted to run. Today is a different story, We've weathered so many years of this life, beat down all the pain and strife, but still I'm here, and you're there Our baby girl needed me - though she is all grown up, I packed a bag and flew across the ocean Leaving you with the house, the cats, and you, lacking my attention and devotion Its not much better from this side, Being the one that leaves, I still miss you so much I find it hard to breathe. Perhaps someday in heaven, We will always be in the same place, I will wake up and see your face, Every day, for all of eternity. |
Angelheart's "Birth of Love" felt like the right artwork to include with this love poem for my hubby. In a few weeks, we will celebrate our 27th Anniversary, and by then, I will be home.
