My Wesley

Is it strange that I so often see, in my mind's eye, images of you leaving me, leaving this Earth

Leaving the people and places and things that make you so happy and alive

I find myself reaching out to hold your hand in these little silent moments

And then I break the silence with "I love you my darling"

I have to say it now and often, because I can see it

A moment in time when my heart is broken in two

One piece taken away with you to wherever beautiful souls go

This comforts me because I never want you to be without me

Always I'll be by your side

My husband and my best friend and truly my favorite human being

I thank God for this wisdom and painful insight

I'm so very happy and appreciative of this time together

Time to soften my words, to touch tenderly the life of my lover

To express my utter gratitude to you here and now

You saw me from our first moments

It is through your vision of me that I learned to see myself

Learning to love and show true kindness to myself

You uncovered my truth and made me shine

My true heart smiled in joy in your presence

You are my safe place and so I made my life and home with you

You saved me from the chaotic world that I made
