My Husband

Published by Family Friend Poems May 4, 2026 with permission of the Author.

It was seven lonely months ago
that you said your last goodbye,
the angels took you in their arms
and I was left alone to cry.

I met you oh so long ago
way back in the distant past,
you grew to be my soul mate
up until you breathed your last.

Our marriage lasted forty years
with many ups and downs,
but no matter what life threw at us
our love, it knew no bounds.

But the days are long and empty now
without you by my side,
the memories are all that's left
and the grief I cannot hide.

so I hope that you're at peace now
no more suffering and pain,
and you'll always be within my heart
up until we meet again.
