This Thing Called Love

 

This Thing Called Love

In loving memory

My beloved husband Dennis (aka Bub)

He taught me about this thing called love

 

What is this thing called love?

Many ask this question down life’s pathway

Many answers are given … but

Only one is the true combined in many little things

 

He can be counted on in times of trouble

He put my needs ahead of his

He always loved me unconditionally

He was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on

 

He was there when happiness abounds

He is there with sweet words and a loving touch

He shares all the good and all of the bad

He made my life a joy to live

 

He was there when grief ripped open my heart

His strength brought me through our son’s death

He cared for our children when my grief overwhelmed me

He brought me back to the land of the living

 

He still sees me as beautiful when old and gray

Love like this will last through all eternity

Even when death closes his eyes, his love is felt

His whispering words return to me in dreams

 

He can always bring a smile to my face

Even if it is just a memory picture in my mind

He holds my heart in the palm of hand

Our hearts are puzzled together intertwined

 

This thing called love lights up every fiber of my being

This thing called love burns deep into my soul

This thing called love gives me a reason to go on

Loving the children and grandchildren that came from this love

 

Our love is in the air I breathe

Our love is in my heart that still beats

Our love is in my daughter’s sweet voice

Our love is in my sons loving ways

 

Our love is in the blue eyes of our granddaughter

Our love is in the sweet smiles of our grandsons

Our love beats with every beat of their hearts

Our love surrounds me and gives me strength to live on

 

My heart is missing a piece to our puzzle … but

Will be found again in God’s heavenly realm

Our love will never fade with the passing of time

Our love is forever across the eons of time and space

 

Our love will collide in the stars as my eyes also close in death

Now you know what this thing called love is

It was my reason for being, my reason for living

His love made me complete

Oh Nancy, this pulled at my heartstrings. Beautifully written from
your soul. Love like this never fades. How lucky you are to have

as fortunate. Thank you for submitting this superb dedication
to love and your dear Dennis. Bub would be sooo proud of you!
