Love Abides In The Sorrow

Because I stood in love's sunshine, I now stand in love's shadow. The shadow exists because there was sunshine. I wouldn’t know sorrow, if I didn’t know joy. This pain and joy need to be understood and appreciated. I can not hate the sorrow because it was born of the love. If you can mourn with me, also rejoice with me.

This IS My Pain, This IS My Joy

I'm sad.

Please allow me the sadness,

Because I was happy with him.

I'm lonely.

Please allow me the loneliness,

Because I had the nearness of him.

I cry.

Please allow me the tears,

Because I laughed with him.

I dream.

Please allow me to dream,

Because, I dream of him.

I remember.

Please allow me to reminisce,

Because, I love the memories of him.

When I am lost,

Please let me remember

His love always led me.

When I stumble,

Please let me remember

He always gave me his hand.

When I love less,

Please let me remember

He gave all of his love.

When I feel the emptiness,

Please let me rejoice in

The fullness of our life.

When I feel his void,

Please let me rejoice in

The treasure of our children.

When I feel the distance...

Please don't let me feel the distance,

Let me share what's in my heart.

A shadow was cast October 12th, 2010 however, the warmth of the sunshine will linger as long as I live. My love he'll always be.
