Rainy Day

She laid him in his resting place

After twenty-one years of love

She had to try to say goodbye

To one she never felt worthy of

She was with him on his death bed

As he said with a single tear

"Now don't you cry, because I die,

For my love won't disappear"

He said with a smile while holding her hand

"Thank you, for being my bride"

It was his last breath before his death

Then her loving husband died

Two weeks later, the doorbell rang

A messenger stood outside

He said, "How do you do?, this is for you"

She took the letter and went inside

When she opens up the envelope

Tears start to fill her eyes

And then a smile, that's been gone for a while

She reads it and then she cries

"It was me my angel who felt unworthy,

to even hold your hand"

"And I'll never see, why you ever picked me,

it's something I'll never understand"

Every two weeks, for the next ten years

A love letter was brought to her door

'Til one day his bride, had finally died

And now they're together once more

He wrote her letters every single day

From the very first day that they met

Then he put them away for a rainy day

To make sure she'd never forget

Wow. Awesom emotion. Great story beautiful

[Kimberly "Melody" Carne..]

This poem is one of the poems that will remain unforgetable to me. A poem that will strike the heart of all who read. LOVE has been described by many as many diffrent things, you my dear have summed it up as what it truley is. You captuered the very purest parts of our hearts leaving us thinking......I loved that! Perfectly written and should be a country song if you ask me. Thank you so very very much for an amazing heartfelt poem that touches one to the core. This is going in my library for sure!
