Four years ago today was the day,
The day my wife and loved one passed.
Nearly forty years together,
Our love so strong and joyful,
Never a row in all those years,
We had a wonderful time.
Now she is looking down on me
Her love showing her acceptance,
Her acceptance of my new love.
I know we will all be together,
Be together in time
And move forward in our lives
To eternity and beyond.

- Comment from author about the poem: My wife of nearly forty years died this day, 30th December 2019. She died from dementia and if anybody thinks they know about dementia hasn't lived 24/7 for several years with someone who has got it they haven't a f*****g clue!!! Johnny Mathis was her favourite singer.

A poignant write Gold.
A now elderly friend is carer to his wife, a bit younger than him I think, but she has dementia sadly.
Thank you Orchi.
a page filled with both sorrow and so much love ..
So true Neville, thank you.
