My Legacy Poem by Deborah Ashdown

My legacy I leave you,
will not contain finance.
My legacy I leave you,
will be in a form of romance.
Some-thing for you to remember me by.
Some-thing I hope will not make you cry.

From the moment our eyes made contact.
Love was our destiny proven to be fact.
You brightened my days with your energising smile.
Made me feel so special and desired all the while.
When we were apart.
It pained my heart.
One look at you thawed my once cold heart.
Warmed to the core until we were to part.
We made love like it was our last time,
bodies in unity, rhythm and rhtme.
I loved you then, I love you now.
I will find a way to convey my love some how.

When you're sick, I'll be there.
When you're hurting, I'll be there.
When you're alone, I'll be there.
When you need me, I will be there.

Look for my smile, you will find me.
Look for my aroma, you will find me.
look for my comfort, you will find me.
look for my love, you will find me.

I'm so sorry I had to leave so soon.
I didn't want to leave so soon.
I really had no choice.
It was the lords choice.

I will love you for eternity, this I promise you from my death bed.
Promise me one thing my loved one, always love me when I am dead.

Please don't shed any tears, have no regrets, no sorrow.
Rejoice my life, go forward with yours, live for to-morrow.

Your beloved wife.
