FAREWELL MY SWEET GIRL

FAREWELL MY SWEET GIRL

A Poem by Eddie Phillips
"

Cancer steals so much, but it can never take the love.

"

 

I would like to say thanks for all that you have done

You caressed me at my twinkling and built me to your Sun

The messages in the morning that you left onside the bed

How you made forgiveness simple after something stupid I had said

Baby you were awesome a true love I cannot replace

I miss you every morning that I don't see your face

The tears and the frustration may fade away in time

but nothing can supplant your place inside my mind

Cancer may have robbed you of your body on this Earth

but it could not take the love or the essence of your worth

A year has passed so slowly and I miss you everyday

The simple sweet smile and all the kind things you would say

I know that you wanted me to move on with my life

but whose shadow could ever cloak me better then the one of my sweet wife?

I will try my precious darling to move on in this world

but I know I will never truly get over the loss of my sweet girl.

Author's Note

Eddie Phillips
I wrote this about a person that loses the love of his life. It is inspired by the people in my life. So many loved ones taken. Love is eternal and healing does come with time.

Really touching Eddie. I know a thing or two about losing loved ones.

You have touched me deeply with this piece, Eddie. We lost my father to cancer ten years ago, and as you have so eloquently said, "it could not take the love or the essence of your worth..." Healing does indeed come with time, and love lingers, but the scars remain...
