Happy Birthday, my Love

Poem from last year for John, 2021.

Below is a reposting of a poem written last month for John as if in his words to me. *******************************************

CRY not for me, and be not sad,

As I have run the race.

My days embraced each stage of life

And filled my soul with grace.

I carry with me all your love

And every memory, too.

Your words and prayers

Surround me still,

My heart is filled with you.
