Title: My Forever Valentine Writer: Roy Wright

NOTE: This poem was written to my wife of 28 years who died of breast cancer at age 52. This poem was written on Valentine's Day 4 years after her death.

I'm in love with a beautiful woman And today is Valentine's Day But what makes this all so difficult Is she's been taken far, far away I can't see her, hear her, or touch her Which causes me great despair I've been left holding on to a great love For a woman who's no longer there They say God knows all things that happen From the beginning to the end Then why did he wait till my love was the deepest To take my lover and very best friend? She was truly denied a fair shake in life Amd that eats at my soul everyday There's nothing I want to enjoy in life Since she was brutally ripped away I protected her with all my resources I prayed like there was no tomorrow Which in reality, there really wasn't Without her, my life is grief and sorrow So, on this day of candy and flowers I'd give everything to be with her again She's the one who made my life worthwhile My confidante, my lover, my friend.
