This emptiness I cannot hide <br />I wish so she were by my side <br />Try I may to fill that void <br />With things that we had both enjoyed <br /> <br />But memories cannot replace <br />A gentle smile or warm embrace <br />Or things we shared and talked about <br />The things I need, I am without <br /> <br />I hoped that time would help me see <br />That life goes on in memory <br />Though memories don’t make a life <br />What made my life, was my wife<br /><br />Edward Hammer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-made-my-life/
