Poem for my wife

Saying goodbye
Was the hardest thing to do.
We had the naive thought,
we never have to.

We always listened
Often no idea what to say,
But knowing when to give each other a hug
Then there was the day - when you decided to call it a day.

No one will ever take your place.
I can always promise you this.
It's hard to find someone like you,
So know you'll always be missed - sealed with a kiss.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

What would I not do
for another last hug by you
By the stretch of your fingers
By the sun up in Heaven, 
by the moon and the stars
By the blood that flows in my veins
and all I feel - especially the pains
