Willie, you and she were greatly blessed to have such a beautiful love, so strong and deep. I love the details of your special memories. Your loss and grief are enormous and ongoing because they reflect the depths of your feelings. Sending you best wishes for your beautiful poem.

This is such a sweet portrait of and tribute to the love of your life. It is not surprising that you miss her still. The rhyming is very well done, making it a joy to read.

This poem does a really nice job of showing the progression of your time with your love. It feels like each stanza was almost an era of your time together, with each one showing the progression of a beautiful life together. Nicely done.

I gave your poem, six stars, not because the six stars are a big deal, but your words are most sincere. I was in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. My high school sweetheart wrote me a dear John, but later we got married. We were married for 32 years. But through the years she changed, and in my opinion, she was not the same, caring person... and she divorced me. I missed the person that she once was. Best wishes.

What a lovely 'note from afar.' It is indeed hard to be separated from the ones we love, and I am sorry for your loss. My favorite stanza is the second one,
I miss your smile,
That filled the room.
Like a flower
In full bloom.
It's a wonderful description. Thank you for sharing.

A beautiful tribute to your wife and the wonderful memories. Your love came through in each line. So sorry for the loss of your lovely wife.
I loved the picture that was your pin-up picture when you were over-seas.
Blessings to you Willie.

You did a great job, Willie. You poem was filled with
great memories you and she shared. No one can take that
away. I understand about how the actual day makes you
feel. I believe many will identify with your sentiments.
Your wife's picture was great. The rhymes worked well,
and your lines read smoothly.
Take care, Jan

I'm sorry for your loss, Willie.

Beautiful poem to honor your beautiful wife on the day she died. She is in you.

The rhymes and meter are not forced and they flow well.

the structure makes sense, it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

The love and longing come through clearly in your lovely and romantic tribute to your lost love. I love the closing stanza with the love floating upward. I'm sure she catches it when it arrives.
