Members abelisle Posted February 14, 2011 Members Posted February 14, 2011 She Stole My Heart I gently move her arm from my chest As I roll out of bed for my morning run "Going running dear?" as if she isn't sure Her blue eyes still clearly closed. The run starts slowly, more so now than before We are both aging together - she's handling it better Maybe she is because she has something of mine? She sure does - she has my heart. As the first miles flow by My heart is beating in my throat A feeling of heavy sludge heaving about Is this "my" heart reaching for the right rhythm of my run? My heart finally falls into line Beating in my chest now, not my throat The run ends as my wife meets me Wrapping her arms around my waist "Did you have a good run, dear?" She knows She has my heart The one she stole many years ago. Alex Quote We are our worst enemy - sad but true. http://abelisle.blogspot.com
Moderators John317 Posted February 14, 2011 Moderators Posted February 14, 2011 Nice poem, Alex. I assume you read it to her. What did she say? Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted February 15, 2011 Moderators Posted February 15, 2011 And I hope you know how blessed you are to still have each other. My DH passed away seven years ago. It's seemed like an eternity without him. Things I used to be able to do without even thinking about it [e.g., entertaining friends for Sabbath lunch in our home] now become huge, huge tasks. So big I can't manage them alone. I have lots and lots of friends. People to go places with and to talk to on the telephone. But nobody else has that certain something I need to complete me. I find myself looking enviously at older couples who are together. Can't believe how I'm growing old without the "other half" of myself.

Administrators Gail Posted February 15, 2011 Administrators Posted February 15, 2011 :( (((( Jeannie )))) Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Planey Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I'm with you there totally Jeannie. My darling wife died two and a half years ago so I most heartily identify with everything you've said. You have my most complete sympathy (and empathy). Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
