Crystal Rose

Just a few days ago, I read a profile on here . It really got me thinking. What she must be going thru losing her husband in war. I tried to capture what I thought she would be thinking. The rhyme and rhythm are bad but I hope the words and meaning are right. Crystal Rose, this is for you.

Our time on earth is so short
Just a pause along lifes way
Is this our very last one
Or will we have yet another day

I hope these words now I write
Will describe the pain that I feel
My love, my life is gone
My heart, will it ever heal ?

As time slowly moves on
It trys to steal away
The memories I have of you
With the passing of everyday

I try to recall your scent
I smelled when you held me close
The taste of your lips on mine
That day at our wedding toast

I want to remember your whisper
Also your giggle as we lay in bed
Forgetting the world outside
While wrapped in sheets of red

I struggle to fight this thief
I never want to forget
How much you meant to me
From the very first day that we met

The beauty I recall of you
In my mind forever I've froze
So fragile yet seems so alive
Like the essence of a crystal rose
