Wife Death Poem

Hi my name is Kevin and I lost my wife over 6 years ago and I still miss and think of her everyday. She died of breast cancer at the age of 46 leaving behind four children who loved her very much.

Pink Ribbon

They said time would ease the pain
Every day I still feel the same
I wake every morning reaching for you
My pillow soaked with my tears like the morning dew

We were so sure this was something we could beat
Knowing it would be no small feat
The ribbons of pink now mean much more
Just never thought this would come knocking on our door

We fought for more time together
Thinking every day you were getting better
Every day rain or shine seemed to be lined with gold
We still talked of our future plans of growing old

We heard of so many that had survived this
I still remember our last kiss
We thought we could win for sure
Now for others I can only hope for a cure.
