Raining In My Heart To Sunshine.

Goldfinch60



There I was on this fine December day

Three long years ago

The sun was out, the sky was blue.

I was with her,

Sitting by her side.

The love of my life just lying there,

Lying in a hospital bed.

Looking out there was not a cloud in the sky.

As I sat as she sucked her last breath,

That is when it started raining

Raining in my heart.

My lover had moved on

Moved on into that wonderful sky,

And beyond.

 

Then came the day,

The day a new love came,

Came into my heart,

And the tears stopped.

My new lady took me,

Took me to a wonderful place,

A place full of love and laughter.

She too had lost her lover,

Lost him many years ago

And now we have a new life,

Not just the two of us

But our memories of those times,

Those times long ago,

When we were in love before.

 

They will be there for us,

Always be there for us,

Just waiting for us.

And on that day the tears will stop,

And it will no longer be

Raining in our hearts.

  • Comment from author about the poem: It is three years ago today, 30th December, that my wife of nearly 40 years passed away. She was the love of my life and is still with me but another lady is now in my life, she too lost her husband so there are now four of us in our minds eye.
