I watched you go
You did not cry
I held your hand
As we said goodbye

You closed your eyes
Took your last breath
Your pain was all over
As you welcomed death

I cried for you
Now the pain is in me
My broken heart
Will never be free

Another day passes
My life goes on by
I think of your memory
As I sit here and cry

I remember the good times
There were many we shared
And I always knew
That forever you cared

In time you grew weaker
And I cared for you
I promised I would be there
When the moments became few

I did it for love
Is all that I can say
Your life has gone
Death has taken you away

I will carry your memory
Right here in my heart
Until the time comes
That I too must part


I have been writing poetry for many years and regularly have it published in print. My poetry is published by Forward Press and in many other publications. So I'm now putting my poetry online. I publish my poetry on my Blog jo-hale-poetry at http://jo-hale-poetry.blogspot.com/ and on 8hop.com My poetry on 8hop.com.
