To pine is pain of a fragile heart,
where whispers lie in a sad place.
I try to think of bright, sunny days
and place you still on a happy face.
Your image rests not, nor fades away,
for I see you each and every day.
You paint the pages of poems written
and sit in galleries of fine paintings.
Wherever I walk, your shadow follows
and your footprints line the sand.
My mind won’t rest until we meet again,
my body needs your gentle touch,
and the warmth of your golden hand.
I’ll wait for you on higher ground,
I’ll know you when the trumpet sounds.

Oh my goodness this Beautiful Melvina and truly it was written in memory of a Wonderful Man! I bet valentines days can make it just that much harder when you lose your mate.Rest assured Richard Loved you and I pray he is able to look down just long enough to read this priceless, fragile and most special piece of poetry....that I know truly was written out of True Love. Hope your doing well and I will call you later on tonight... 10/out of 10! ! ! Love, Shellley
Sometimes fragility is beautiful. This is one of those times. Eloquent write, Melvina. Always your friend, Sandra
