For Mari333 and all those who grieve

This poem brought me comfort when I lost the Love of My Life and I hope it brings you a moment of peace as well....


OLD SOULS

by Paul Williams


Our love is an old love.
It’s older than all our years.
I have seen in strange young eyes
familiar tears.

We’re old souls in a new life.
They gave us a new life to live and learn.
Some time to touch old friends
and still return.

Our paths have crossed and parted.
This love was started
long, long ago.
In its story lives are pages.
Fill them up.
May ours turn slow.

Our love is a strong love.
We give it all and still receive.
So with empty arms
we must still believe.

All souls last forever
So we need never fear goodbye.
A kiss when you must go.
No tears....
In time we kiss hello.


Mari, my heart is with you....please feel free to pm me if you need to "talk".

1. Thank you

Printing it out to save.

2. That is nice

thank you. I have learned that you never really get over the loss in your life you just get used to living with the loss. This is a nice way to look at it and it is comforting. I hope it brings relief to those with fresh grief.

3. another one

A million times we've missed you,
A million times we've cried,
If love could have saved you,
you never would have died.

Things we feel most deeply
Are the hardest things to say,
Our dearest one, we have loved you
In a very special way.

We often sit and think of you
And think of how you died,
To think we couldn't say goodbye
Before you closed your eyes

No one can know our lonliness
And no one can see us weeping,
All our tears from aching hearts,
While others are sleeping

If we had one lifetime wish,
A dream that could come true,
We'd pray to God, with all our hearts,
For yesterday and you.
