Why was she taken from me?
Our love was so strong
Nothing will ever break it,
But she was taken,
Taken twice.
That first time where her mind,
Her mind was given dementia,
So she could not remember
Or do things for herself.
My love was so strong
I did it all for her,
Did it all with love.
The love that has never failed
For that wonderful lady,
That wonderful lady in my life,
That wonderful lady who was my wife.
That second time she was taken
Was a release for us both.
As her Spirit left her body
She smiled down on me,
I watched her Spirit,
And I smiled at her
Knowing that a new normality
Had become her way of life.
She was back as herself,
That wonderful woman
Who I love so much,
Not that dementia riddled paraphrase,
Paraphrase of herself.
She was there,
There waiting for me
And I will be with her soon
As life on earth is so short,
Only a blink of an eye.
So I will be with her
As we travel together,
Our Spirit and our hearts
As one,
Travelling the highway of immortality.

A sensitive write Gold.
Yet in one sense - life is very long, centuries long. Why, we was both there in 1066. Just call us (you and I) Methuselah!
There's eternity to spend with my singing - arrggghhh! I will say then: 'I'm better now!' lol.
Thanks Orchi.
moving, in its raw intimacy and bravery
how lucky you are, to have your Joyce waiting - giving, you the perfect excuse to squeeze every last ounce out of life: imagining her delight, when you share your new stories whilst traversing that afterlife, once more and eternally: side by side
Thank You LB for your wonderful words, much appreciated.

BRIAN here ~ Good FRIDAY Uncle Andy ~ This oft recurring Precious theme assures us Younger Members of four important things in LOVE & LIFE !

You are learning about love in al it's reality as you experience it and live it. Learning in a way which is only open to you and we your readers cannot take that learning journey with you. But we are learning from you in ways unexpected, unexperienced that love is perhaps the strongest force known - or partially known - to mankind.
Your path is yours alone. Your goal we know of. And I think collectively we will you on with strength and goodwill.
Thank you d a, that love is so strong within me and I know it will go on forever.
Andy
