A part of me


The beauty of marriage
Is that we both become
Whole, not less in union

I'll love you always
When we are alone
When the children steal you
When they leave home

Now that you have gone
You'll always be
A part of me

  1. My Beloved Sandra and I just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary (though we've been together for almost 3 decades). Marriage ruins nothing.

  6. This is so very touching, Robin. The way marriage should be except that one has passed away. The survivor takes it hard and never quite recovers. Time mellows but never all the way. My mom lived to be 88 but Dad lived on to age 97.
