Forever yours
Even if you are not here
Vows that will never be broken even in death
We would have celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary today
Your legacy still lives on because you loved me
Tonight I talked about you and our family again in Zoom
I walk through my empty house now that the kids are mostly grown
With memories surrounding me of all the gifts you left me
We survived what few could have
Year after year you were steadfast
Doing what you had to do
An amazing father
Amazing work ethic
But most of all
You showed me I was lovable
Even when I became a man
You loved me more, even
And for that
I thank you
and miss you terribly
It is all I can do
to not allow my heart to break
This world needs me still
You ordered me to live on
as you died in my arms
December
I heard your last heart beat
as I sang “Fix You”
It seems like a past life now
A way for me to cope
As our country falls apart
After everything we did to make it better
Here I am still an activist and educator
still fighting for our human rights
God help us all!
So many have died
That party in heaven grows and grows!
We always believed
Good will Win!
