I miss him... the man who was my spouse <br />fifty years together in sun and storm <br />not unlike any other couple's norm <br />simple people, not proud <br />we cried... laughed out loud <br />with the entire family together... <br />oh, what a crowd! <br /> <br />I miss him... yet I've learned <br />to smile for more than just a while <br />it would be as he wished for me <br />the man who was my spouse... <br />who knew he would leave before me <br />I saw him slowly fade away <br />how his mind fogged, he became a boy <br />he became as a baby... the man <br />who was my spouse. <br /> <br />The entire family gathered together... <br />oh, what a crowd.<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-what-a-crowd/
