Long Denied

by Crystal Rose Blooming   Sep 23, 2008


This morning I woke and to my surprise
No more teardrops filled my eyes
For the first time since that horrid spring
I heard the birds sweetly sing

I noticed flowers in my front yard
Smelled their fragrance with regard
In the mirror a smiling face
A soulful look has been replaced

What is the feeling I have inside?
Happiness long denied.
I was once a loving bride
Filled with joy filled with pride

Ripped from my arms way to soon
Lost to me and his platoon
In a dream he came to me
I release you now and set you free

Therefore, I let go but will not forget
Sadness is no longer a looming threat
His love I will carry for eternity
He gave back my life so I can be me

    There is not much more I can add to the comments already written. This write touched me to the core. I wish you the best and I am sorry for your loss but please know that I appreciate the sacrifice your husband made serving and protecting us and our country.

    You done good sweety. You are cleaning out the baggage you have carried around for a while. Your man died for you and if he had the chance to do it again he would do it again. One thing you can know he wants you happy and to live life the best you can. I'm certain of that.
    Poet Sara Teesdale once wrote this poem that seems to fit you at this point.

    Into my hearts treasury
    I sliped a coin
    That time cannot take
    nor a thief proloin
    Oh better then the minting
    of a gold crown king
    It the safe kept memory
    of a lovely thing.
