Sorry I disappeared again, but I have been very busy with my novel. I got inspired by this poem of a true life experience.

The Coffee Shop

An old couple comes into the coffee shop
As the bell of the door rings,
They slowly canter over to a booth
With a few of their favorite things.
She carries a little book she reads
In her soft fragile hand,
He hair was glistening a snowy white
Like the diamond, in her wedding band.
The wrinkles of time were shown
In the dimples of her face,
As her husband, with his walking cane
Guides her, to their favorite place.
He reaches for a menu to order
As his wife opens her book,
He peers at her, with a loving smile
With his hand in hers he took.
No words had to be exchanged
Of the love these two felt,
For the desire in their hearts
Would make an iceberg melt.

As God whispers to His angels
Tragedy befalls upon this love,
A trip to the coffee shop one day
Calls for the man above.
His body lived, as long as it could
He lived a good long life,
God called upon him, to come home
And left without his wife.

Now, the old woman still comes in
The coffee shop all alone,
She tells the waitress, she misses him
She's ready to go home.
But little beknownst to her
Her husband never left her side,
He always came in with her
In her heart, he will abide.
He waits for her, to come home
But he never got to say,
How much he really loves her
In every special way.
So, with his voice speaking through me
"Ma'am, everything is okay,
Your husband loves you very much
And will be waiting for you one day."
"He says, to live your life as always,
As though he was here,
He'll never ever leave your side
He'll always be near."

I leave these words to you
As spoken through to me,
Your love will live forever
Throughout eternity.

I told you it was a good write and yes he meant "his", that was just a simple typo.

Actually it was meant to be Her hair not his....so it could match the sentence like her diamond wedding band. Simple typo....but hey, one typo out of the whole poem isn't too bad. But it has been corrected in the original.

Thanks for standing up for me sweetheart, but it was meant to be Her, and yes that whip is feeling good and it's working....I feel like my oldself again.

Thanks Jo, it feels good to be back to share what I enjoy doing.

Thanks Sis...I appreciate the wonderful comment and sorry it made you cry. Yes, Dena has been a wonderful inspiration to me.

Thanks Storm, I am glad you liked it.

Thanks KC..I know what you mean about catching up. It's hard to get into the flow again, but once you find that niche, you start like you never lost it.

Good luck on the novel...
If it's anything as good as this poem was,
You have naught to worry about.
