Ragged no moreA Poem by Christine Marie Friend14 years later I found her again after we both had gone through divorce and heartache. I wrote this as we lay in bed one night and I watched her sleep soundly as she did when we were kids.
As she lies next to me,
touching my very core It is my honor, to say, Ragged no more The tract marks are gone, long faded by time Replaced by true love, pure and sublime No more suicide, it is for each other we Live I offer everything, to you, that be mine to give I am eternally rich now, I can never be poor As I speak the words I'd never, Ragged no more Life may be cruel, your smiles keep me going You have no earthly clue, not a chance of knowing How much I love now, because of your kisses, and your embrace I finally won, my side, my soul, is your place I thought I had lost you, that fate shut the door I exclaim, nay, SHOUT!! Ragged no more I sought out to save you, but you have saved me I cannot express in words, Love, my feelings for Thee We have forever now, let us cherish it all Till Ragnarok comes, and we both answer the call Once again we shall fight, back to back, side by side Our hearts are one, our souls forever tied And when they close that book, and we become forgotten lore I say to you, I will remember, you are Ragged no more. © 2013 Christine Marie Friend |
