Each day I awake
New joy is there for me.
I wonder what it will be today?
There are so many joys to be had.
I will listen to music,
Write my words,
Meet good friends,
Eat fine food,
Drink good wine,
Be happy all day.
But then I will come home,
Home to that empty house
Where my loved one used to be.
She is there in Spirit
But her body has gone to rest,
And is no longer there for me to hug.
As I walk up the stairs
And go to bed she is not there.
But I know when I awake each day
New joys will be there for me.

A lovely write gold. Thank heavens for music - play it loud enough to drown me out! lol.
Well said Orchi, thank heaven for music.

soothing, even to those who can't claim to know of the grief you bare,
like the positivity: a commodity of life sustenance that's in short supply this days
Thank you LB, your words are much appreciated.

I'm with the guinea pig opposite Andy .. that's a fine list of joys you got there sir ....................................... N
Thank you Neville, I think that I am a lucky man.

You're teaching me Andy ... there are still those quiet moments to get through though but we can do it .... that's the kind of hairpin we are (James Cagney).......
Those quiet moments can be hard Lorna but they are also special as we know our loved one is with us.
Andy
Once more we see the positive love of life you exhibit Goldfinch whilst airing your feelings of loss. Thank goodness you have your faith to light that path as you venture ever forward. Continuing along the journey of understanding and acceptance of all the meanings of love and awareness.
Thank you d a. That journey will always be there and one day I will be sharing it once more with my lover.
Andy
I love the way you are managing your life - I only hope I will be as strong if Jeanne doesn't respond to treatment. Don't even want to think about it.
Thank you Michael. I am sure that the treatment will be OK and all will be well with you and Jeanne.
Thinking of you both

A beautiful and uplifting read -- joy is there to experience whatever our situation and you are such a fine example of finding it dear Andy.
Thank you Fay, yes joy is always there for us all, just enjoy every moment - they are so special.
Andy
While absent, she remains present, and t hats the joy you wake to each day.
Lovely, indeed lovely
So true Suresh, thank you for your kind words.
