My darling waits.

by Willie P. Smith

April twentieth, twenty fifteen,

my love was called away

My children and I

will visit mama on that day.

She lies in a beautiful place

In her favorite dress

With white lace.

Two dates adorn her stone,

When she came

And when she went home.

I've reserved a place

Right next to my love

For when my Lord

calls me above.

Oh, what a day

That will be,

Where my darling

Waits for me.

Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.

As you have probably noticed, many of my poems are directed toward my wife.
This is because those were the best days of my life.

Eight long years she's been gone

My darling waits.
