A thousand things and nothing, <br />can conjure up memories of you. <br />Everything about you, before I could become your wife <br />and I'll remember them all the rest of my life. <br />A joke you told, that made me laugh, <br />the two of us taking a candlelit bath. <br />The times we tried with all our might, <br />to fly higher and higher with our kites. <br />The way we raced down that desert road, <br />becoming ever more bold. <br />The way you looked barbequeing our steaks, <br />the memories make my heart break. <br />The times we spent at the beach, <br />feeding seagulls, just out of our reach. <br />The way you held my first grandaughter, <br />how you looked when you did your John Wayne saunter. <br />The way you looked when you did something wrong, <br />the beautiful way you could sing any song. <br />The funny faces you'd suddenly make, <br />the memories make my heart break. <br />A thousand things and nothing, <br />can conjure up memories of you, <br />everything about you, before I could become your wife <br />and I'll remember them all for the rest of my life.<br /><br />Barbara Haskell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thousand-things-and-nothing/
