If Only.
A short poem written while mourning.
If only
you could hold my hand
the way you used to do.
If only
you could whisper:
“My darling I love you.”
If only that I could reply:
“My darling I love you too.”
Dark clouds in my mind might vanish,
once again my sky will be blue.

Ah, if only: such sadness and longing are held in so few words and most of us have said them at some point or will in the time to come. A loving tribute to your wife. Sue.x
Thank you Sue,,
yes, as you say it will come to all of us, if only it would not be so hard so final as it appears. Still, we don’t know..Yes, I shall always love her. Peter x
Beautiful little poem Peter, and of course I know just how you feel. If. Only the sky could be blue for everyone, but sadly life is just not like that.
