I am a widower, yes.

I have our two cats, yes.

I have family & friends, yes.

I have my faith, yes.

I have my music, yes.

I have my books, yes.

I have my walks to our beloved park, yes.

Will I swing on our swing? Yes.

Will I see you at the picnic table

with an open basket? Yes

watching our favorite movie? Yes.

Will your stretch and yawn,

forever be etched in my mind? Yes.

Will I sleep and dream of you? Yes.

Will grief always be with me? Yes.
