Hello Jaybird!
What a heartbreaking and endearing love poem.
I love the obvious love between you and your departed wife.

One nit to edit:
Alas, death was looming, made it's (its) call,

Thank you for sharing!

Awwwww Jay, this makes me so sad. I can easily imagine how difficult it is to lose the love of your life, and to have to go on for years without her. You have my deepest sympathy. Your poem is like a small synopsis of your wonderful life with your family. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you and give you joy and peace. Hugs, MM

Your love for your wife is very tenderly expressed, and you obviously miss her greatly after a long and happy marriage. Your tribute to your life together is beautiful, filled with love, joy and peace. No-one could ask for more.

Beautiful, Jaybird. My wife passed going on seven years now. She gave me four wonderful children who gave me nine grandchildren, who have given me twenty one
great grandchildren. I too write to fight off the loneliness. Exceptional work, my friend.

Just beautiful. Such a perfect metre and rhyme with a great progression like a story. You should consider maybe writing some nonfiction stories about your wife also. Thanks.

You are blessed with a wonderful wife and many off springs. You are lucky to live a very long life. You are still a very good poet and a Sonnet writer, too.

Keep writing.

Dear Jaybird, this is beautiful. It elicits so many emotions in the reader! You are brave to keep going and wise to write. (I love the line, "and with God's grace, they all survived." Very clever and true!) We miss our loved ones when they go on ahead, but they cannot be far from us. Thank you for sharing.
